Got my roll cage tacked up, got to pull it out and clean up the welds and prep for paint. Still need to put a rear hoop over or behind the rear seat.

Im really digging your truck.

Did you tie into the frame? Or bolt to the floor?

Is that a kit or did you bend it up?

Very nice, that blazer will be wicked when you get it done.

It will be welded to the floor. The cage is a S&W Racing 10 point kit. It still required a good bit of fitting up.

Thnaks for all the complements.

Good looking cage. Will there be reinforcements of some sort under the floor even though you are welding it in?

Got to figure that out yet.

I've got some good articles scanned about making rollbars. If they will be of any assistance to you, PM me your e-mail address and I will send them to you.

Looking good did you tell them it was going in a blazer? thats not the same kit I got for mine. Iwas the first customer first gen the made a cage for. They made my rear bars stop at the tail gate they come up and then go down the side of the top so the passengers in the back are covered. they made it 2 times befor they got it like i wanted and let me keep the other one witch worked out good for me I was able to use it on a few other things I was working on. They even gave a discount to CK5 members at the time to any one that wanted on like mine.

I called a spoke with a sales person and they said the kit I asked for was for the 67-72 K5 Blazer. I'm pleased with the results...even after cusing and fusing with some of the compound angles I had to deal with.
