fast_dev · 02-06-2006, 11:04 PM

i just got a blazer and a jimmy and im wondering if they have single wall tops or double wall tops, never had a blazer or jimmy before so they are all new to me, may be a dumb question but how do i tell???

Assuming you are talking about a 1st gen, 69-72, the single wall
bolts down the side rails from the top, double wall bolts from the
underneath side of the rails, oh yea, and the single is worth 2 x
as much as the double, and it has interior cargo lamps, lighter 2.

looks like i got two single wall tops, one is white, the other black. which ones if any are harder to find, black or white? Thanks for the info, Dev.

Hmmmm, never seen a black one, they might exist, anyone else wanna chime in?

fast_dev · 02-07-2006, 09:27 PM

next to last option. floor is just a little rotted, this one will get parted i just have to paypal josh first so i can sell parts.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-07-2006, 09:31 PM

Hmmmmmm, I wonder if it was ever painted, never seen a black single wall,
I think the option code is the same for all tops reguardless of color, I think

Scrubby · 02-07-2006, 09:32 PM

Holy crap! That is some rot!

SLIMJIM · 02-07-2006, 09:32 PM

Got a black double wall on my 70 2wd. All the tops are white; they just spray them black as an option. A single wall would be nice though.

SLIMJIM

junkyardjohn · 02-07-2006, 09:37 PM

I HAD A 72 GMC JIMMY THAT HAD A BLACK TOP & SAID SO ON THE GLOVE BOX STICKER. THEY ARE A WHOLE LOT RARER (IS THAT EVEN A WORD??) OR MORE RARE THAN WHITE TOPS.

JOHN

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-07-2006, 09:43 PM

John, they had them in Black? Singles that is? Or were they sprayed black?

SLIMJIM · 02-07-2006, 09:50 PM

I agree they are a little more scarce than white ones, at least from the ones I have seen. Mine is also RPO listed. It is called a "black" top because it is painted black on the outside. The inside is white.

jay_shy · 02-07-2006, 10:41 PM

Is it just me or does the wheelbase on the option sticker say 000.0.

Jason

fast_dev · 02-07-2006, 10:59 PM

yeah wheelbase does say that, i have noticed other trucks with this a few times picking through the junkyard, a couple longbeds IIRC, never knew why though, Dev.

**special-K** · 02-08-2006, 12:37 AM

So,only the sigle-walls have any lights at all?No lights in the dbl?What are they going for?I took the top off one of mine to put a soft top on and it didappeared.

fast_dev · 02-08-2006, 01:12 PM

i've been trying to figure that out too so i can come up with a price for this one. i need to paypal josh first so i can become a seller on here though.

Scrubby · 02-08-2006, 06:07 PM

If the hatch is good, I have seen those go for more than the whole top and they are the same for double and single wall tops.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-09-2006, 06:46 PM

Teeitup just sold a very nice single with hatch for $600 if that helps,
you can search on the parts thread it should come up if not deleted.
