So sorry to hear about your bad luck, glad you are OK. How fast were you going ? What kind of tire was that ??? Front or rear ??? Low pressure or old tire ? Just in case that info might help prevent someone having problems. Wish you good luck getting it fixed.
About 60-65, the tire in question was a uniroyal in rear has some dryrot on the outside side wall, good tread and OK pressure. Tread seperated first, then blew. Didn't help I was on a nice banked curve at the time and it wanted to hop around in the rear.

just chop the top off and drive it the rest of the summer.
I actually thought about that. Until I can get another cab, and have it ready to go on, I'm just going to put in a new (or used) windshield, and a piece of plexiglass in the back window. I spent most of the day Sunday straightening the cab out enough to put a windshield in, and flattening out the back window opening for plexiglass.
