I ran across a YouTube video that shows how to take it off and put it on with the top on. I believe I posted a link to it on this thread somewhere. It's been years ago though.
Birk,

71-97 really it's got all different year parts.
If memory serves correct the chassis is 78 with a 79 motor. It's a Johnny Cash story, but I usually refer to it as a 78.
I was at a Cruiser Rally one time and was asked the question: What year is your 40? I replied 78. He said, that can't...
Krenie,

We've had a lot of rain lately. 3.75 inches the other night.......So river's up and the creeks are out of their banks.
Saturday went down to the factory to work and thought the heck with it.....Loaded up a bunch of cold ones, went and grabbed a buddy and we spent the rest of the afternoon...
