Anyone notice the hard top / rag top on ebay

Looks interesting. I talked to the seller. He thinks it's a dealer special promo top and has no idea who built it.

It still seems heavy and I still think soft top is the way to go...

I guess the question is does it provide enough structural support to help maintain door alignment.

It was made by the previous owner of that orange truck. The truck is on eBay as well. The po was from Atco NJ and he used to sell trucks and parts out of his house and at local meets. The orange blazer was his personal truck and was the last one he sold before he moved away.

I agree with 72gmguy I just sent the link to my buddy who had a spot at Truck Carlisle next to the guy who use to own the blazer. Basically had a marine outfit make the parts for him so no factory or dealer option. I would think it would have as much or more structural support than a soft top.
