Suburban/Blazer conversion ever been done

35 years ago as I was installing OEM head liner in my suburban that had nothing there originally I noticed that the roof is bolted on. Since then I've always wondered if any one has ever tried to convert a suburban to a blazer style removable top. I know there would be body stability problems but that might be dealt with by installing rigid roll bar. always wondered if that's been tried

Not removable but this is as close as I've seen on here.

Re: Suburban/Blazer conversion ever been done

Very cool only saw one white one that looked pretty rough. But with all the links I saw a few more. Could never afford to fab a truck like that but have thought about it for 35 years
