Blazer half top - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HuggerCST · 03-30-2009, 09:28 AM

Did anyone see this? Martinsr saw it at a show and posted this pic in the paint & body section. The place to get it is East Bay Customs at 925-634-5717 they are in Pittsburg California, for about $2000. The kit is actually made for trucks, but is designed from a blazer top.

I wonder if they are the same as these - http://www.myrodshop.com/blazer.html

Critter · 03-30-2009, 01:52 PM

That's an awful nice paint job to just to go laying a fiberglass top on.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-30-2009, 05:20 PM

Guy in post #2 e-mailed me, he is still making them, no price was given.

I remember that half top.

Looks like a nice piece.

Half tops look so right. Luv em. Saw one on a Jimmy about 30 years ago. That's one of the trucks that made me fall in love with 67-72 trucks...

71_K5 · 04-05-2009, 08:01 PM

The hotrodshop replied to me too but refuses to give a price. I even told him I'd pay in advance and never heard back from him. I gave up and took the DeWalt Sawzall down to the wrecking yard and brought home the topmost section of a 72 C10 cab and made my own!

It was easier than I thought and I have less than $150 invested and that includes a sliding rear window I found on Craigslist.

If the glass tops are as thin as the one in the first post, I think I made the right decision.

Here's is my Half top on my jimmy.

clos69 · 04-24-2009, 09:36 AM

Orangek5...do you have any pics of the inside? I 've never seen one in person so i would like to see how they bolt up and devide the rear section of the blazer,thanks

72truckman · 04-25-2009, 02:37 AM

I really think that ORANGEK5's option is the best....

Saw it at the Goodguys a few weekends ago... Looks nice and the finish is surprisingly good for being sold as "rough" fiberglass. The guy told me they specifically made it to look exactly like the cab of a p/u for those who want the stealth look of a stock p/u but can remove during the nice months. Didn't mention the availability of a bulkhead/ load separator but that can easily be fabricated. I cant recall the price, but it was in the $2000 range

clos69 · 04-29-2009, 01:36 PM

TTT for pics

orangek5 · 04-30-2009, 09:00 PM

Sorry I have not replied sooner but I havn't been to the blazer forum sense I post the last images.

To those who interested I do not have the top on or bulk head in but I do have pics of the bulk head out of the truck but I am having Problems getting them to upload. I keep getting this message
