metal half top- link with pictures included.

Has anyone ever seen a metal half top? Is this real or is if for a bronco. it doesn't look like it attaches in the front like my half top, but the bulk head looks similar. This is not mine. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/69-70...spagenameZWDVW

Sure looks like it would be for a Blazer rather than a Bronco. Very intereting. One would have to assume it is a truck cab cut up, would be cool to see it in person.

There were several manufactures of the half tops back in the day. I remember reading about one once before on the board that was metal.

That is pretty interesting, I would say it looks like a truck cab cut up but then again Bouncy says there have been metal ones so you never know.

Re: metal half top- link with pictures included.

Yeppers, been watching it since day one. (although I have one now )
It's a pretty interesting set-up. I e-mailed him for some help w/ bulkhead
diemensions. Oh and BTW - I have a friend that does glass & were in the
process of readying mine to pull a mold off of it, know what that means?

I have a fiberglass halftop that has a metal bunkhead like the one in the link. Let me know if you need pictures or measurements.

LUV - if you need a Blazer to test fit the 'new mold' (and they are looking for somebody in the Toledo, Ohio area) - I might know of somebody who 'MIGHT' be interested...
