Re: Anyone getting that half top?

Does anyone have a photo of a half topper I've never seen one. Who sells them? (web address if possible)

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!

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.

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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.

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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.

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

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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

How do these work around everyone's roll bars?

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.....

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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.

Re: Anyone getting that half top?

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