Thanks I apreciate you trying to help. Mine is going on my 1972 Jimmy also. It is killing me to drill but I have to have a top that is easy to take off. If you don't mind can I get a picture of the little bracket that goes up by the bottom screw on the weatherstrip that holds the front of the horizontal bar. The instructions were very vague. I see you didn't install the snap on the rear of the bedside, does it look like it makes a difference? Thanks Last edited by Thealien; 04-09-2008 at 10:16 PM. |

Re: soft top
That looks better than the ones mad\e for the Blazer. Definately find out what it's for if you can. Could we get some pics to see the front and over the doors? Thanks!
Just realized you might have been talking about the metal strip... Man, we need someone to make a softtop for these trucks!

Re: soft top
thealien
Sorry I forgot about the pictures I dont no if mine is right I mite try and make a metal plate and put 3 holes in it so I can put all 3 scews in it and then weld the bracket to it. Here your pictures. You have to get it real tight or it will pull down because their is only one bolt in it. But if you over tight it you will strip out the threads in your window frame. I will make a metal plate for mine. Last edited by Gary 70 Jimmy; 04-13-2008 at 02:57 AM. |

Re: soft top
If you end up making brackets for your top I would be interested in getting a set too. When u get a chance can u snap a fee pics of the placement of the braces on the inside that hold the top up. Thanks in advance

Re: soft top
Tailgate looks like it may line up with my existing snaps.... Not sure about my windshield though. Thanks for bumping this.

Re: soft top
What is the name of the rubber above the door? How far up is the L bracket from the rear of the truck and have you seen anywhere they can be ordered from? If not what is the measurements of the brackets so I can make one
Thanks in advance |

Re: soft top
The rubber above the door is the top of the door gasket top was never put back on so it never got smashed down. You might still get the brackets from best top.
