1: Help - 88-92 F convertibles Operation
(READ MORE IN THE DISCRIPTION SECTION)
Providing complete and current specifications for these models is quite challenging today. ASC was the primary GM contractor responsible for converting these vehicles into convertibles. Beneath the front seats, each frame side features a reinforced support rail, similar to a subframe connector, designed to enhance structural integrity while keeping production costs manageable.
It is important to note that the tops were NOT all the same exact dimensions between 88 & 92, and things like spring tensions, not being a power top.. spring tensions changed in 1991 also. Most parts like cables and latches are available one way or another..and may change from year to year too.. so its not always free or easy to get but like in any older cars restoration etc.. patience is an asset.
If memory serves correctly the conversions were done in Los Angles at a warehouse next the then big GM plant in Van Nuys that built the 3rd gen cars. (Went though the plant in 1989 .. they were then building around 800 cars PER DAY .. all sold.. 2 shifts...treasured memory that rare tour that was organised for a bunch of about 14 Aussie's.)
