Trying to install the channel for a Bestop bikini top. Two of the channel holes partially line up with the holes for the hard top. The rest of them I can drill out. Anyone here know how that’s supposed to work?

Gotcha. But one of the holes on each side of the channel partially lines up with one of the holes that is for the hardtop. Did you offset the channel to avoid that hole?
My windshield frame has blind nuts but it looks like yours does not. In either case, I would drill the channel rather than drill more holes into the truck.

Jen,
What suspension is that? I looks like your rear wheels are perfectly centered in the well and you have great shackle angles. Bet it rides nice.

Curious how holes are in the windshield frame? Original windshields from around 1965 had seven fixed nuts. Somewhere in the late 1970s the holes were on all windshield frames. Only FST had the welded nuts. US did not get any FST once three point seat belt were required starting 1/76. Unfortunately not around my loose late model windshield but believe it still had seven holes. Because it has two wire believe it is 10/81 or newer.
It’s a modified Red Line Land Cruiser 2.5” FJ40 Lift Kit, (which uses Pro Comp leaf springs I believe), but I used Cruiser outfitters shackles all around. It does ride reasonably nice, but I don’t have anything to compare it to since this is my first 40 I’ve owned and driven.

I’m sure it’s the Cadillac of 40’s.
