    That "Vista Crusier roof is the Earlier Split window version, if you look closer at it. The front glass sits higher than a later year model and has the chrome trim in between the split glass front pieces.

    Those "Earlier" Vista's were the easiest ones to install, due to the fact how flat they were. they also had more metal to work with below the side glass. This is what I wanted to use originally, but could not locate one, back in 1975? I had to go with a 1967 Oldsmobile instead.

    I think you need more shelves. ( It's a guy thing ) more shelves means more stuff, kind of like the wife and shoes.

    This was in Hot Rod a few years ago looks like a tunnel ram and one door shortened. It was in the indy car show back then. I saw a Buick at hershey that had a roof like that.

    Thanks Dodge Man, the kids are in their mid 20's now, we sold the log home cause the city it was in was starting to go downhill and not the place we wanted to raise our grandson. I wish we had built it in the town we live in now. Nice neighborhood where the kids go from house to house to play and nice small town feel. The van I think was an 86. We used to camp and travel in it quite a bit. Very comfortable and the rear bench seat folded down to a bed.
