Bikini pics for Yukon - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I started a new thread instead of posting these on the soft top thread.
Important lesson in the second picture. Notice the 3 snaps on the roll bar. The guy that made it did not leave enough fabric hanging down so at highway speed the top lifted in the middle. The snaps hold it in place perfectly but it killed me to drill them into the roll bar. Otherwise I like it.

Are these the bikini tops that Yukon arranged to be made?

A local guy made this one for me. I should have gotten one of Yukon's as the price of his was better. The local guy, surprisingly, had a roll of the hound's tooth for my truck seats, so I got him to make the top while he repaired my seats.

NuBomb · 07-31-2007, 08:09 AM

OK. I am currently trying to get one made from the source Yukon found. He said he was waiting for a few more orders before making the next batch.

Very nice I like that. Do you have any pictures with the bestop on it.

I will try to take some pics and post them tonight.

Greetings, y'all. I'd like to learn more about Yukon's bikini top supplier. Would someone please provide the contact info?

Also, what about the news that BestTop might be discontinuing production of the K5 top? Can someone definitively confirm that story?

I got the roll bar from another member on the board last year. I was very lucky.

local unit, made a few years ago.

BLUE THUNDER · 08-13-2007, 09:57 PM

Nice bikinis guys. I'm interested for sure. Btw, Vince y and Mister Freeze, where did yall get the roll bars? I had one just like yours in my blue 72 blazer but my yellow 72 blazer didn't come with one. Any info on the bikini and the roll bar would be awsome. Thanks. Mario

mister.freeze · 08-14-2007, 08:20 AM

Rollbar came withit, possibly a factory thing. I shortened the rear to mount to the top of the wheel wells. I hope to get rid of it by next summer...

Burt4x4 · 08-14-2007, 12:05 PM

I have one that Yukon had made...I will get pics up as soon as I can.
I will say very impressive B-Top! re-enforced stiching and everything. Very Nice!
