halftop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok guys what is one of those halftops worth?

The kind that makes your blazer look like a truck? I don't think I won't it but I found one and owner has no idea what to ask for it. For that matter I don't either. From pic I was sent looks like it is in good shape. Thanks ahead of time.

Recently a guy was making new ones that he was selling for about a grand. I'd say get it even if you don't want it, or offer him a couple of hundred for me and I'll make a road trip - I've got a couple of weeks off. I really don't want or plan to use one, but it would be cool to have it.

They are hard to find, especially if it includes the bulkhead ( metal piece to box in the bed) I paid $400.00 for mine with the bulkhead. If you can get it cheaper than this buy it!

I don't think it has bulkhead but just receieved an asking price of $150. Man says it is in great shape just needs cleaning.Pic appears to back him up. If I had them ship it what would be the best/cheapest way? I think I have added a pic what do ya'll think?Oh yeah it is located in Crivitz, Wisconsin.

Are you selling it for $150? I am interested if you are.

No that's what the guy is asking for it. He has tocheck on shipping costs before I know the totalcost.

JayDubBlazer · 12-18-2004, 10:03 PM

looks like you got a deal

**raggedjim** · 12-20-2004, 06:59 PM

Mine came from Wisconsin to Kentucky for $75.00. I think the factory that made these was in Wisconsin, seems to be alot of them up there. The company that built mine was called Glasstite. If I were you I would buy it...

Haven't heard from them since Fri. night. I am bidding on a steering wheel they have on e-bay now. Should hear from them tonite or tomorrow. If I do buy it and decide not to keep it I probably will use it as trade bait. Been a lot of interest thru PM's and even a couple on this thread. I'll let ya'll know what's going on as soon as I do.

bouncytruck · 12-20-2004, 10:44 PM

If you can get it for $150, go for it. They seem to be in demand. I'd bet the bulk head wouldn't be that hard to get made.

thekidd · 12-20-2004, 10:59 PM

Just bought steering wheel from them and e-mailed asking about shipping should hear something soon.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-23-2004, 11:27 AM

Heck I would jump on that they seem to be hard to located fnd for the price your gonna get it for it is a steal....

thekidd · 12-23-2004, 01:25 PM

Problem is they said cheapest shipping they could come up with was $250? I am talking to another board member about getting it as far south as Roanoke. Maybe eventually it will end up here. They also have a windshield frame and cowlplus 2 doors. Don't know shape of any but looks OK in pics. I wouldn'tmind having the cowl but again is in Wisconsin. My cowl has a hole on driver's side which I think was for a spotlight. I can patch it but if I had that one thought it might be easier. Oh well that's what I get for living in a great state. Everything is far away,but I wouldn't location with anyone. Everybody have a good Christmas.
