How many Black single wall tops are out there ?

Just brought home a 72 Jimmy, 52,000 one owner, 307, 2bbl, TH350, with a Black single wall removable top. rusty, but salvageable (low mileage). Just wondering how many Black tops Vs White tops are out there ?? How about pictures of the Black top rigs ?

Here's a 72 I picked up for parts. Someone repainted the body black at some point. Super rusty but some good options

My 72 came factory with a black top but its been painted white or possible replaced with a white top. If I put it back on in place of the soft top, it will be black before going back on. Orange and White looks to much like Farmtruck for me.

I have one of each both single walls but I am cutting the black one to make a windowless hatchless top for it. PG

I hope it's not a nice top if your cutting it up. I'll trade you a double wall for the single! I'd love to have a single wall but never seem to find any close. My current top is a double.

It's an ok top I got tired of looking and broke down spent too much on shipping etc. I am giving the hatch and side windows to another member here. PG

I have 3 Blazers, 2 with white tops and one with a black top. I also have a white single wall top.
