any Ideas on a GREAT shape top and rear hatch, rear seat mounting brackets would sell for?.
He wants 700 for the top and hatch and 40 for the brackets.

Single or double walled top?
Doubles are way more common and should cost alot less to pick up.

Price on the top/hatch seems high to me but thats just M/O.
A really good hatch is pretty tough to find however.
If it was a nice single walled top w/a great hatch, I might go $500 for it.

The price on the rear seat hold downs is about the going rate, give or take.

I picked up a decent single walled top recently for $125.00 if that gives you any kind of base. No hatch with it though and missing a side window.

$700 seems a little high, but it is a matter of supply and demand. Good rear hatches are hard to find. Really nice hatches can go for upwards of $200. I recently got a decent (few minor chips and cracks) for $50 from WES.

I paid $40 for a set of just the front brackets for the rear seat. I got them from Frank (PICKMUP) and they were freshly sand blasted and ready for paint. I've seen them go much higher and lower since.

The question is how long have you been waiting for a good top and how long are you willing to continue waiting. Although 700 is high(maybe $500 is better), you may not come along one for a while longer, but you can probably buy a rust case blazer with a good top for under a $1000 to put it in perspective.

Here's a guy in Coronado,Ca. giving his 72 double wall top away.
May be worth the road trip for you?

Hey scott how bad is your top I have an extra one here.. Hatch you can get brand new from ed at mother trucker's.. $400 I think???

Top seems way to high for me, unless it's a flawless single wall

Brackets - tubes and support legs can run $50 easy, the front u clamps
have gone for as much as $100 on EVIL BAY alone, supply and demand

Yes, for a total package, but not for just a top

Blue4x4 · 09-24-2005, 06:50 PM

Thanks guys. I should have specified it was a double wall. I'll see what it looks like.

Too much for a double wall, I hauled two to the dump this summer. I offered them on the board for free and no one wanted them.

teeitup · 09-25-2005, 01:11 AM

I sold a real good single wall, hatch was bad for $300. Good luck,
