Hickey roll bar
 

Hi. I recently picked up this roll bar from a fella who said it was out of a 72 blazer. I was mostly interested in the roll bar dome light, and thought I’d keep it if I ever got another blazer or jimmy.

It looks like the Hickey style, but there’s no sticker or marking to confirm that. I just assumed it was Hickey because it had the roll bar dome light that looked like the one in the old catalog.

My question is, What is the visible difference between a 69-72 hickey style roll bar and a 73 and up roll bar of the same style?

Thanks Vinnie

I think they are completely different. The rear uprights are shorter and at a harder angle. I will see if I still have pictures.

In the picture with the Hickey roll bar, what are the tabs halfway up the vertical bars with the hole in them? Is the bar connected to the side of the blazer on the inside of the cab when it is installed? I have one of these roll bars and didn't realize it was a Hickey brand, Mine is 1/2 inch away from the sides of my blazer side walls. Thanks in advance for the groups input.

I think that roll bar was stock GM for square body blazers and bolted to the body through the tabs.

This is a GM/factory '73-'75 Blazer roll bar, not a Hickey/aftermarket roll bar and it mounts to the floor only (not the floor and wheel tubs). I put one of these GM/factory '73-'75 Blazer roll bars into my '71 Blazer.

The wheel tubs may be at different angles between '69-'72 and '73-'75, so the Hickey/aftermarket roll bar Vicente Aceves is asking about may only fit one generation of Blazer.

Do you know what the square tabs are for on the side of the roll bar? Seatbelts?

Bolts to the box sides behind the doors (improved how the doors closed on my '71 due to the extra stiffness).

Can you take some pictures of the dome light.

Sorry. I just saw this message.

Here it is.

Thanks for the pictures
I had a roll with one on it but lens was gone.

They had a lens on eBay that was a match. I guess they used those lenses for other lights too.

This is a Hickey roll bar out of my 70. Also the Hickey light. I need a lens for that sucker.

whats the story on the FUN COUNTRYS stacked up behind the roll bar ???

Re: Hickey roll bar
 

The fun country’s came with my blazer. Two have never been mounted and the other two are on old wagons. Never been on a vehicle. 36.5s. They are so cool

Re: Hickey roll bar
 

Was any modification required to have the 73-75 roll bar fit into the 71?

Re: Hickey roll bar
 

No, other than the corrugations in the floor plates didn't line up with the corrugations in the '71 floor. Here are some old pictures from my test fit:
