I really like that style of high top roof. I have a Ford E450 cutaway van that I want to install one on but I really only need the front few feet for mine. I currently have a sleeper cab mounted behind the cutaway van cab. Installing a raised roof for the cab would work great to help the sleeper cut thru the air better while also giving me a storage area above the E450 cab.

Very interesting video! I have a question about my conversion top. I have a 1988 van and I'm guessing the conversion top was put on back then. It is fiberglass and in great shape. I recently gutted the interior of the van, as well as the top cabinet parts. I noticed that you (and all conversion tops I've seen) leave the original body over the cab and add a brace. This makes sense, I assume to keep the driver safe in case of a rollover. But my van also has the rear part of the original body and a brace in the same manner. There was a cabinet up there, but I took it all out. I can see where the brace is screwed into the frame on the sides, and then it's just a floppy cut piece of the original van's roof. My question is, would it be okay to unscrew the brace, and cut the rest of the original roof off in the back with a jigsaw? Is there any safety reason that it would be there? The only thing I could think is to protect passengers in the back in case of rollover and allow for the ugly cabinet area that was there. The conversion top seems plenty sturdy, I assume it was put on the same way as this. I would much rather have the head room in the back with the full conversion height, but I'm just wondering and wanting to make sure if maybe there's a reason why a conversion top would need that in the back and others like this one wouldn't. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Wonder why this response didn't come from Mory Master (who posted this video) like those further up in the posts ? This response is incorrect....the strength in the front section is not derived solely from the factory rib above the front occupants. ALL the roof ribs contribute to the strength of the roof immediately above the front seat occupants. Try tightening a top on a FULL 2litre soda bottle and squeeze it as hard as you can with one hand. Now take the top off and do the same. The lid doesn't just make the top of the bottle stronger. ....it assists the rest of the structure and vice versa. It's not just about direct impact either. .....ever tried to flatten a cardboard box ? They can be stubborn even if you stamp on them. But......undo just some of the end folds and they flop. That's what a van is....a flimsy tin box. You need those ribs. Hope this helps. John
