AL Want to Buy: WHITE Blazer Soft Top

[bamachem]

There's probably not much demand for the white ones so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone might have one they're sitting on and wouldn't mind getting rid of. I have an original Whitco but it's seen better days. Let me know.

If you ever find a replacement and want to get rid of your Whitco then please let me know. I'd like to find one even if it is a resurrection project.

do you have any pictures of your whitco. Here is a picture of my bestop not for sale.

Only pics are with the windows rolled up. I don't know why I didn't take any pics with them down. This was last July or August, right after I bought the truck.



The top is in fair shape. Stitching is just about gone on the front rail that holds it to the windshield plate (which is missing so I looped it over the drip rail as a temp fix). The hardware is all there except for about half the frame that supports the top over the front cab. I have some parts but others are missing.

The previous owner had a ton of blazer parts in his basement and gave me three storage bins full. I had no clue what I was getting. I am betting that he has the remaining parts. Next time I'm near Atlanta, I'm stopping in and he's going to let me dig through what he has left. He said I'm welcome to any of it.

Here's what it looks like today. I'm thinking of taking the top to a local boat shop and see if they can work some life back into it or use it for a template to make another one out of new material.

I have a white Kayline. It's been stored a while. I'd have to check condition and figure what it's worth if you're interested.

Nice looking blazer a black top would go good with the yellow very hard to find a white one when I bought my black bestop in 2007 they didn't make white ones anymore. I found my white one on craigslist is a very old top just never put on a blazer.

I tried a PM. Did you get it?

Quick question.... do you have to drill all holes in the truck to put one on?

There is a rail along the sides that use factory holes. You typically do have to install snaps along the top of the windshield and along the tail gate though.

I've decided to put the Whitco up for sale and buy a newer top. If anyone is seriously interested, please PM me.

Condition: about a 4 out of 10 with 10 being pristine in the box.

The front plastic lip that snaps over the windshield header bar is about gone. This can be replaced by most any boat canvas shop for under $30.

I DO NOT HAVE THE WINDSHIELD HEADER BAR OR THE HORIZONTAL WINDOW SUPPORTS THAT GO FROM THE WINDSHIELD HEADER TO THE FIRST SUPPORT BOW.

There are two "mouse" holes directly over the center of the rear seat where a mouse chewed on the vinyl. They are about 2" diameter on one and about 1" diameter on the other.

Windows are yellowed and one has a split, so they need to be replaced.

It has a couple places that have been patched up by the windshield header. Unfortunately the shop that did the repairs years ago used bright white vinyl instead of off white. I would suggest replacing these patches (2"X6", one on each side) with matching vinyl.

It comes with both rear support bows and both rear snap rails that attach to the bed sides. These are BIG so shipping will be a no-go unless you want me to cut them each in half knowing that you will have to put them back together on your end.

I'm looking for a few hundred bucks on this and will work with you on shipping and/or delivery. I travel a lot of the SE for work, and could possibly bring them with me on a trip to cut down any driving distance.

Willing to consider all tops in all colors as trade towards this original Dealer-option Whitco. I will include cash on my end for a good top that I can use. I prefer Softopper over all others.
