Re: Retractable hardtop 67-72 pickup
PRETTY TRUCK!!! I never watched much "car build" on TV. Good prof. skills, but the same corny plot... ending with a last minute 2 day thrash to get done before the customer shows up.
I've enjoyed my 2wd '72 Blazer topless for the past 11yrs. since I bought it off of this site. Great climate in central FL. for it. I've been caught in the rain a few times. It's worse in the rain than a regular convt. with the top down. As long as you're driving in a convt. the rain pretty much blows over you. But not in the Blazer, the rain swirls up behind you & wets the windshield on the inside. Gets the back of your head & shoulders too. I've got a hardtop and a fiberglass half-top, both need to be refinished & I've never bothered with it. I got a soft half top from the previous owner & I had it on a few times & and used the A/C. It seals pretty good but it takes me awhile to assemble it & I think it's ugly. I've been kinda thinking a classic convertible might be more practical. I had a pretty serious health crisis in Jan. & I'm still recovering and I'm not driving yet. I was out in the shop today & looked at the Blazer for the first time in awhile. This post about the topless C!0 got me thinkin'.
