Welcome to the Board from Washington State! There are a ton of great vendors that hang out here, and I am sure people will tell you where to get a softtop. As for Hard tops, there seems to be a few around.

Welcome to the board, again from Washington. I think I saw that you responded to the post by Kilomanjaro. He is a trust worthy vendor and really knows his blazers.

As far as soft tops go, there was someone selling a used one a while back. I'm not sure if he actually sold it or not. Here is a link to the thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...threadid=89955

You can also get new soft tops through http://www.specialtytopco.com/ and http://bestop.com/. They run in the $500-600 range. Personally, I prefer the looks of the specialty top co tops. Once you install a soft top, you may never put that hard top on again! My hard top is just sitting on the side of the house.

Keep in mind, there are two different hard tops, single wall and double wall. The single wall tops bolt down from the top and are more desireable than the double wall. Double wall tops bolt up from under the bed rail, so if you have rear side panels, you will have to remove them before taking your top on and off. Double wall tops also have a dendency to split along the seams.

Good luck and post some pictures of your blazer when you get a chance.
