I have a '63 Dart convertible that has a manual top (no switch, pistons, pump, etc.. If I can find the parts would the hydralics and controls off a power top model hook right up? Thanks local55@hotmail.com |

Yes. I did this on my 1963 Dart GT. I found a donor car that was quite rusted out. Cut out the hydraulic cylinder brackets & welded them into my car. Replaced the part on each side of the top mechanism that the cylinders bolt to. Cut out the shelf that holds the hydraulic pump and welded it to the same cross-bar between the wheel wells. Installed the factory wiring harness along with the switch and everything has worked perfectly for 22 years. --Walt Jackson WalterLeeJackson@compuserve.com |
