link?
edit: nevermind found it
Also, this confirms that the metal divider piece that I have is original to it. I have the exact same setup. I don't think having two half tops is in order right now!

*Medicanman71* · 10-25-2005, 09:48 AM

ok , make me a deal on the 1/2 top cuz i'm not buyying my full hard top back!

I have the exact same setup also, I always wondered if the metal divider was the original on mine also. Here is a pic of my blazer with it on.

Does someone still make them? I thought I saw something last year about a board member manufacturing them. I'm not in the bidding on this one though. Got my peso's tied up elsewhere. Jeff.

bouncytruck · 10-25-2005, 01:19 PM

There were two different guys making them. They each wanted around $1000

orange72blazer · 10-25-2005, 10:10 PM

The bulkhead is just like mine but the top is a lot different, now that I look at it again. Mine dosen't have latches has a sliding rear window and is alot nicer inside. What brand do you guys have, mine is Glasstite.

Mine is just like yours. I have a sliding rear window, bulkhead and NO latches like the one on Ebay. Those are kinda funky looking.

*Medicanman71* · 10-25-2005, 11:58 PM

they talkin smack about your style top 2wdblazer!!!

Blue4x4 · 10-26-2005, 12:21 AM

Were these an original item? What I gather, he is saying it is? Well anyways.....who am I bidding against???? Guys save me some $$$ If you are bidding let me know and I will back out. PM me if you are. Thanks.

**raggedjim** · 10-26-2005, 12:19 PM

These were not a factory option that I know of, mine was made by a truck cap company.

bouncytruck · 10-26-2005, 12:40 PM

I think there were some dealers that must have sold them too.

How do these work around everyone's roll bars?

i have seen them on blazers with roll bars the roll bar sits just behind the half cab by a inch or so , in less the ones i have seen are aftermarket roll bars in them

Mine came with a custom roll bar that installs inside the cab. It is not the way to go though and appears to be more dangerous than effective. It literally uses the window fram as support.....

jakeslim · 10-26-2005, 03:30 PM

at $600 now

That is high, but i guess these things are not too common so worth it if someone doesn't want to wait several months to find one cheaper! Two have gone on sale in Northern CA this year....demand is a bit higher

2wdBlazer · 10-28-2005, 11:06 AM

I think mine has a little different shape. Looks exactly like a truck cab shape. Orange72Blazer's shape looks a little different.

I will have to move my Rollbar a couple inches bacK as it will not clear. Solid glass in mine.

2wdBlazer · 10-28-2005, 09:54 PM

Mine is called the "Pacesetter Half Cab" made by Minasota Truck Equipment Corp. That is the same one on E-bay.

**raggedjim** · 10-28-2005, 10:56 PM

Hmmm, I think Glasstite was in Minnesota...
