Post pics of your Soft Tops.
I've been thinking of getting a Soft Top but would like to see some Blazer's/Jimmy's with them installed to get a better Idea of how they work and look.

Re: Post pics of your Soft Tops.
Someone on the Pictures board had a truck with an original Wisco dealer-installed soft top. I'd love to find one of those in the box somewhere!

Re: Post pics of your Soft Tops.
Maybe someone with a Softopper top can help me out on this. I've noticed in some pictures with the top down the top framing that attaches to the windshield frame has not been retracted or put down like the rear frame section. Is this how it stays at all times, top up or down? |

Ok, Cool. I was worried they stayed up at all times, top 'up' or 'down'. I'm glad they can be removed easily if wanted to. Thanks for the info. |

Re: Post pics of your Soft Tops.
That top is a great piece of K5 history and I hope that you, or someone else, gets to restore it. Beautiful truck BTW.

Re: Post pics of your Soft Tops.
This is my black with tinted windows Kayline/STC soft top. Originally I got a grey one from Kayline and when it stopped being water tight I got the black one. Kayline had just gone under and STC had just started making them, luckily they did not change anything so the new canvas snapped right on. Still use the grey one for the summer the windows are shot and the stitching is coming apart in places but it keeps the son off of my head.

Re: Post pics of your Soft Tops.
I like the slanted back that the Kayline has. Wish someone would copy that.
