Swapped Tops - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm going to use my little popup camper this weekend in the infield at Atlanta. I had to take the Blazer's white double wall top off of it. I store it there 'cause I don't use the popup much. Figured I'd set it on the Jimmy and see how it looked. The red top for the Jimmy is a single wall and is in about the same shape as the rest of the veh. ... a 20-30 footer. Local paint & body guy is still trying to decide if he wants to take it in trade for a paint job on my Nova. I thought maybe the nice white top might sweeten the deal. He'd get to paint the red one anyway and make MORE $$.

If you can get a paint job for a Blazer top you will be getting the deal of the century, providing it's a good job. Paint and materials can run 1-2 thousand. By the way, I think both tops look good on your Blazer.

I'd offered to trade the '72 Jimmy 2wd. with the red top ON IT for the paint & body work on the Nova. The Jimmy runs & drives pretty good but is rusty & plastered under the shiny red paint. If he'd swap for a good quality paint job it'd be a good deal for me. He does very nice work. I don't like to sell and ain't good at it. I've had the Nova 15+ years and it's a good solid car but needs to be done again. I bought the Jimmy before I got the '72 Blazer and don't need both. I guess the Jimmy's strong point is that it's rare. I like the GMC's 4 headlight face. I like the white top on it too.

Red looks good. Window tint on white one is nice.
