If this is a WTB then it needs to go into the classifieds.

Re: need help on my 71 hatch

You might be better off ditching the whole top and looking for a single wall in better condition (I mean if your Blazer is nice, you want the top to be nice as well, right?)
BTW, they wont let you post a want to buy unless you subscribe.

Re: need help on my 71 hatch

Brothers parts sells a new hatch but it ain't cheap. Think it runs about $600. As far as the props go good luck but I have seen and heard that some guys are using or converting those to the newer hyd. struts you see on the hatch of the newer SUV's.

Re: need help on my 71 hatch

I need one myself. I will post a WTB when I am further along in my build. From what I have read, the aftermarket ones aren't very good and they are overpriced. I would recommend subscribing and posting a WTB. Anybody got a thread or pics of new hyd struts on a 1st gen blazer hatch?
