hard tops
I assume there are some major differences between the 69-72 tops and those from the next generation? I m new to the Blazer scene and figured this has been looked into...

Re: hard tops
Oh yeah, big differences. The 69-72 is completely different from the 73-75 and of course the 76-91 are even more different still. ALSO, keep in mind there are two different versions of the 69-72 tops. Looky here...enjoy.

Re: hard tops
Welcome to the Blazer side of classic GM trucks. Just about everything to do with the body is different between the 69-72 and the 73-75 Blazers. For the 69-72, there are two tops, a double wall (69-72) and a single wall (72). The single walls are considered more desirable because they are lighter, don't sag or split as much, have interior dome lights and bolt down from above the bedrail so you don't have to remove interior side panels (if you have them).
