Thanks for the nice comments guys. I am actually looking to have it painted the tops are pretty thin which you can't tell in the picture obviously.

I am also torn to keep the rails and have them re-crhomed and restore them they're pitted on the ends not bad but with a new paint job they would need to be brought up or just ditch them and weld the holes up.

also the chrome window visors does anyone know if they came from the factory with those or not I am pretty sure they didn't and if they didn't I am 100% sure I will remove those have patch the holes up when I get it painted.

thanks

Looks familiar. My old 84 in 1997. I was on my way to nuclear power school in Florida from Idaho.

The visors didn't come from the factory. Those would be classified, as more of an accessory.
