Can it be true? A convertible 1971 GMC SWB
I was tolds about a 1971 GMC shorty that has a factory removable hardtop installed on it for sale. Something like a factory California Custom limited production truck.
Anybody ever seen one or heard about one? Or is the guy pulling my leg? like a California custom cutoff saw hardtop? I will see it this weekend and take pics.

not stock, and I highly doubt a dealer woulda done that back in the day.

More likely it's a Jimmy [GMC's K/5 Blazer] with the aftermarket halftop.

Yes it sounds like a blazer with a half cab on it.
