pics of my blazer with the half top on

I just set it on to see how it looked. I still need to clean it up and give it a fresh coat of paint.

As Randy on American Idol would say "Yo Dog!" Man that is slick, doesn't look dirty in the picture. Do you have the bulkhead? More pictures of different angles please.

I do have the bulk head, but it's a little bent up. Just need to straighten it out, clean it up and paint it. I'll get a some more pics in a few weeks when I get it all together.

The back seat is a third seat from a 99 suburban. Right now it's just sitting on the floor, but I'm going to make some brackets up so that it's removable when the top is on.

Thumbs up thanks to ORANGE

I've been out of circulation for WAY too long. Glad to see the seperate area for us topless fanatics !

Just wanted to say thanks to ORANGE for the Top......it looks much better than my old one. The new one is white, the old one black....must say after putting it on, I am rethinking the paint color.

Well it's Spring and the bug has bitten once again. I think it's time to finish this on-again off-again project. (after 4 years and boxes and boxes of parts that have been collecting dust)

A quick question while I'm here.....a very novice question....what is the bolt pattern for our trucks...6-lug on mine. Any offset issues for 10.5 width wheels ??

Oh, by the way...that 1/2 top looks VERY nice...........!!!

Color Choices...

Well I THOUGHT A gun-metal gray...but now I'm not sure....the Jimmy was Orange "out of the box......", but I'm open for suggestions, I'm not pulling-off a total restoration, just trying to relive the past I guess !
Any suggestions ??
Interior is redone in black..pretty much done, just need assembled...LOL

Im new to the 67-72 Blazer scene so I have a dumb question... is that half top like.. an option? Or is it custom? Aftermarket? I really like the look of it, and your truck is hot!

Aftermarket but they are as easy to find as a rust free Blazer.
