Any interest in a Double Wall top? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Double wall tops often sag. Trying to repair the sag probably isn't worth the effort as opposed to getting a single wall top, adding a 4" lift if 4wd, or driving topless. Still trying to figure out the details but it looks as if single wall tops were only installed by GM at the Flint plant for part of the 72 MY and therefore limited in number.

Geez I love my single wall top. Much more robust in design without noticeable change in weight from a double wall. The design of the weatherstripping is also much improved, not to mention the overall quality of construction. GM used the improved design features in the 73-75 tops, which closely resemble the 72 single wall tops.
