Got to love craigs list. I no the seat don't look so good but it came with a nice single wall top with dome lights. I guess it wasn't completely free I had to put insurance on my truck a month early and it cost me $25.00 in gas. How says that the single wall top is lighter than the double wall top it didnt feel any lighter than my double wall top.

I had a factory tach dash I bought from a neighbor for $20 that was going to go into the green '69. I never installed it, but it went with the truck.

That's what it sounded like to me

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 03-20-2009, 04:38 PM

I would say it is parchment because of where the scroll pattern is with all the dirt on it it looks like 1970 sandalwood.

How much lighter is the single wall top then the double wall top. It felt like they way the same to me.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-20-2009, 05:33 PM

IDK I have always had double wall tops???

70k52wd · 03-20-2009, 05:56 PM

Nice score...I've had both tops and I would almost swear the single wall is just as, if not a bit heavier. Kinda hard to weigh them.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-20-2009, 10:50 PM

IIRC, There is no weight diff, however they way they bolt on is

**bigdon-70blazer** · 03-21-2009, 09:38 AM

Did they have a sandalwood steering wheel as well...?!

Critter · 03-21-2009, 02:29 PM

The free top and seat don't amaze me...but the free HATCH that's on the top...now that's amazing. It looks to be in great shape.
