It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Check it out, I did this over the weekend. Now I do not have to wait for my friends to come over and help. This only take me 1/2 hour to do by my self.

How do you all do it?

I havent taken my lid off yet. But I wouldn't be bashful to steal your idea!

Very nice! Ur Blazer is sweeeeeeeeeeet:metal:

Smart Engineering i'd say.....

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Havent had mine off yet either but your idea looks pretty cool.

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Good idea... I had always thought about using a tree when I had my old 76 K5. :lol:

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Wow thats pretty nifty. Awesome looking Blazer too. I still have yet to take my top off either so...

I already put hooks into my ceiling for something similar with lifting beds, but i want to know where you found those locking tackle rope blocks please. I do mine with rachet sraps and it takes forever. i work mostly alone also. thanx , crossy

Cool your just about ready to take it off, I got them at Lowe’s and added more rope to them.

Thanks,
Trav

I think I might try and get this done tomorrow, thanks for posting this Travis

hope it works out for you like it has for me.. Good luck!

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

That's a good idea. I had the same problem with mine and ended up getting a soft top so I would not have to wait for someone to come over to help me remove it. My hard top has been sitting in a field for like 5 years now.

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Nice idea...rep points for you and your awesome blazer!

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Thanks man! Any luck finding a new ride?

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Still looking....now though, I've expanded my search from just 70-72 all the way up to 78 :metal:

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

reminds me of a nice Blazer locally that runs around without its top... has a sticker across the front top of the windshield says "Go topless"

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

I use to do that using ratchet straps and eye bolts in the garage ceiling on my 72 Blazer. Worked great, sit in the front seat push the front up and attach hooks to the tabs that bolt it to windshield frame. Jump out lift back, and hook to the ears that mount to top. It hung about 2in from bed rail. The trick was pulling into garage. That's when I used to drink. Real precision driving skills were needed.:lol:... Great Job!!!

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

:lol: good stuff! And thanks!

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

i used to use my old 47 farmal h to lift the cap off with the front end loader attachment lol worked really well

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Travis, that is sweet and perfect but I'm worried about the replies of those that haven't popped the top off their K5 yet. ??? Bust it off and go for a ride, it's what makes a K5 sweet.

I haven't been around, but not because my project has stalled. Well, it has stalled sorta - I'm not sure yet if I'm going to rebuild the small block or do a 454. <shrug?>

I'll know soon.

;)

I'm one of those people that haven't taken the top off yet,and I've had mine for 3 years.I keep telling myself I'll do it,but never get around to it

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

come on guys its what? six 1/2in bolts on each side and 5 across the top and its off. easy as pie except for lifting it off. stop giving excuses and just go topless already hahahaha

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

Plus two in each rear corner, behind the trim panel. I eventually threw them away. When I was a young buck and was taking the top off constantly, I evetually ended up only putting four back in at the upper corners and rear. I was only riding around campus. I eventually quit putting any bolts in for quick showers, the top will ride on the rear studs only at around-town speeds.

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

ehh mine is a 78 and i dont think it has any hidden under trim?

Re: It only takes one to get my Blazer top off
 

It may not. I had an 83 once that did.
