Picked me up a new top - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

There is another thread started by Blizz where a guy was selling a top for 30 bucks, I went to get it and he ended up giving it to me for FREE. It wasn't in as great shape as I thought but it's complete, no holes and it's ten times better than the one I have.

Here's how I brought it home, no close ups though. It's a double wall by the way, he had told me it's a single wall but it wasn't.

Looks like yours has the same busted part where someone tried to pry the top off. Nice find for free.

Seriously, what are they worth? What's the value difference between double and single wall? I've seen 'em go for free, and I've seen 'em go for $300. Do they make a difference as far as weather, temp, noise, and value? I'm sure there's a demand for refurbed tops too, right?

Good snag. Blizz told me about it earlier. Did the guy have any parts?

No but I do appreciate it, I have my original top that is no good that I can salvage a piece off of or I can convince Critter to cut up his junk top for that piece as well, thanks again.
