Looks like you may need a bit more than a weekend on that poor thing, if you are saving it then much respect to you.
 
First time the top has been off?

How do the wheel wells look in the back? Usually the joint between the body and wheel well was first to rust due to the foam holding water.
 
Thats what I have so far. Right side needs work Left side looks ok I will find out more when I get the rest of the insulation off.

For a postal, that thing is solid!
 
I found another Top to go with it. If someone is looking for parts. I have two now. Both have some damage going to use the best parts to make one good one.

Just the top? Anything of the doors?
 
I would be interested in rear door hinges if you have extras that are good. I have set that don’t move and need work to be serviceable.
 
If they are off the Jeep try soaking them in Marvel mystery oil. If I get a set I will let you know

There's a small polar bear in one of those pictures?
 
Work On the Postal has been going slowly. Rain Working on Motorcycle and such. but I have been making Slow Progress.
I have a new windshield Frame painted with Windshield installed in storage ready for install. Pulled Rollbar the body Under the Roll bar mounts are in great shape. I found another Postal Top and rear door in better shape than mine so now I have Two Tops.23.2.jpg23.4.jpg67.jpg68.jpg69.jpg70.jpg72.jpg73.jpgdoor1.jpgdoor2.jpg

i like the size of side window you're showing (like the Overlanders), but anything smaller (like the opening the way it's formed on the inside wall of the sides) looks really odd to my eye and I'd rather see it left whole. Never figured out how the uncut opening in the World Cab sides was smaller than what they put in the Overlanders. :shrug:

I was Thinking to retain internal Structure cut the horizontal center Support Use the pieces removed and weld them to the cut ends. second picture. Then cut the outer Pannel and get some glass cut to fit
