Talking How to Transport Multiple Blazer / Jimmy Tops

I met up with Rick last night (Rickstrucks) just after midnight on his way home
from a trip to NC and back to OK. We had split the purchase of a Double wall
top earlier in March and I finally was able to get it to him. (The one on angle)
Sorry for the crappy pic (Cell) but I didn't have my Digi. Hope he got home ok.

Re: How to Transport Multiple Blazer / Jimmy Tops

He got the blazer from me the top that is on it is starting to get center sag. I had bought the single wall top to replace it with the top on the back of the truck I tried to sell it for a while but no one seamed to want one so I told him if he wanted it he could have it. I think its going to a good home. I was going to use the duble wall top on the blazer as a top for a short wheelbase trailor progect. i suggested it to Rick so maybe he will do the same thing with one of them.

Re: How to Transport Multiple Blazer / Jimmy Tops

Here is a link covering the trip.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=237911

Yes, I enjoy driving and always have since my college years. Since I work from home now, I don't get out much, so enjoy the drives - great thinking time and enjoy seeing the sights and meeting great people.

On the way back from Earl's I saw a sign for Davy Crocketts birthplace and State Park, but when I took the exit it said it was 25 miles away. That would have put me another hour late meeting Craig, so I opted not to visit cousin Davy's birthplace. Then there was another exit that said Crocketts Tavern, but when I asked the gas station attendant she said it was closed for the season and always closed. Well so much for visiting relatives this trip.

Here is a better pic of the strategically placed parts. Thanks again Craig for staying up to meet me and helping me place the top. I rode great and had no problems with it. And Earl, the white one held too - tell you wife thanks again for helping with that. And Craig, thanks again for problem saving my life by spotting the low truck tire. Would not have been fun.
