Wow, that's kind of expensive. I'm curious to see if they actually put the 69-72 Blazer top into production.

Think I would go with softtopper.com. Almost half the price and in stock right now.

Can Back seems to be a pretty nice setup for the trucks. 1700 is expensive but at least it's a second place making them.

From reading the website, it looks like they'll only go into production if they receive enough orders.

Re: Anyone used Can Back for soft tops?

Softopper is better looking and half the price. A no-brainer for me. I would make my own before buying that. I've worked with my upholstery guy before where I make and mount all the frame/hardware and he skins it. Trim shops custom make tops for boats all the time. A Blazer top would be simple for them

I wish someone made them in white. Not sure what would look best on my bronze blazer with white interior?

Opinions? PG

That's my plan, mainly because nobody makes exactly what I want. I can fabricate the frame and have a shop sew the top for me, and I think I can get it done for less.

I have a softopper and like it. I think the only thing missing is zip out windows. Have you seen the canback to compare looks?
