im looking to put a new roll cage in my 77, it already has one but would like to replace it. im a welder but this looks like its going to be alittle tough has anyone installed one and knows of any short cuts.also any input it has a 6 point but im not sure if i want to go with the 12 point what would be better.

I put a jegs brand 12 point in my 75, was a little tricky, but it helped that I had already cut the floor out.

I am interested in any input on this also . Thinking about a roll bar with a removable door bar and the rear kickers lower than the bed line . I want the rears covered with tonneau (spelling?) cover

hey hot rod I think the rear kickers have to come off the top of the roll bar to be legal? Maybe you can check out my cage.......new block should be done this week and back in soon after. I plan on trailering it to Texas ave uloading it and doing a little cruising. lol

If I have to cut this truck up to get bars put in it , it will stay an 11.50 truck . I will build a spatan , stripped , barely legal drag car and leave this one the way it is .

I installed an Art Morrision roll cage it was pretty straight forward and went in pretty easy. I only put in the halo, the four corners, door bars, and seat belt bar. I dont like the cage to be visable.(the track made me put it in) The only change I made to the bars was reshaped the front down bars to fit the contour of the front pillars a little better. Other than that it goes right in.

And Hotrod80 I am 6'6" and have a solid door bar. :D

I'm cool with a 4 piont in cab cage with removable door bars . I'm 6'3" and these trucks are pretty small as it is for us tall guys . I just don't want bars through the cab . hey luvorleave hope you don't consider this a highjack on my part , but this has been on my mind also .

I agree I will not put the back bars in my luv. If the track starts asking for them then its fast enough. My track does not allow the back bars to be below the back window, they have to be attached at the halo. :(
