just gonna change the blazer over to a full top on bought the whole set up for 200 bucks

Good Score! Did you get the little caps for the tops of the door frames too? You'll need them to cover the ends where you cut your window frames off the doors to match the full top.

You at least got the two biggest parts of the puzzle.

The roll bar should work, but the legs might need some added length due to the 73-75 rear floor being higher in front of the rear seat.

Yep even got the little caps the door frame(4) and the plates that hold the front of the roof to the windsheild frame.Just a shame to cut the blazer up after just getting it painted

All you really have to repaint is the window frame. Well and now another top. Just make sure to use a lot of masking tape and fresh blades when you commence to chopping the door frames off. The caps cover the edges pretty well, but it's best to make the cut as clean as possible.

Don't forget the bedrails. They will be the toughest part.

None I did not experience any body sag no rocker boxes. I am in the process of converting my 4x4 to 2wd.
