Please read if interested in K5 bikini top

[Yukon Jack]

I have posted this same message on the 69-72 Blazer forum, but as some people don't visit it often, I thought I would put it here.

I called Bestop at 800-845-3567 to see if they could give me dimensions for the Scout II bikini top and also asked what we could do to interest them in making a bikini top for the 69-72 Blazer.

The woman I spoke to said Bestop is actually considering making a bikini top for the 69-72 Blazer. She will get me the width of the Scout II top and she said she would be interested in a list of people who would be interested in a 69-72 Blazer bikini top to show the company the interest level.

If you are interested in a 69-72 Blazer bikini top, please e-mail me your name and year of your Blazer to yukonjackk67@netscape.net

I will compile a list of names and get it to Bestop to see if we can show them there is a market for this top.

If there is a big enough market for a Scout II bikini top, surely there is a big enough market for a 69-72 Blazer bikini top!

So far I have 20 people who have responded with an interest - not a bad start for just a few hours.

i would be interested again when i get another 69-72 k-5....... it might be in a couple of years but i dont think it would hurt to put my name down so show more support. at least i used to own one


if you want my name is Michael Schilp and i owned a 70 blazer 4x4

wow sounds like an "KA" (k-5's anonyms(spelling??)) confession

Best of luck with getting them made

they probably do not have a bikini top now because first gen blazers were only made for 4 years and had relatively low production figures. Scout IIs were a lot more numerous when made (plus they had a 9 or 10 year run), but of course Scouts (as well as IH pickups) were made out of compressed rust so there arent as many around today. good luck in your crusade, i would like to get one if i owned a K5 but no such luck.

35 names so far, not bad for 24 hours.

Just an update. I have 54 names of people interested right now in a bikini top. Still getting new names every day. TonyP from ColoradoK5.com is checking with a friend who does this type of work to see his interest level. Sounds like he will likely be interested and hopefully the price will be good too. Given the fact that so many people have responded voicing a request on different attachment methods, I'm not so sure that one of the big companies would be able to fit our needs very well. I would assume a company like Bestop will be only willing to make one form of attachment. I'll update more as soon as I hear more from TonyP.
