Re: What you got? Double or Singe wall top....Poll

I have 1 double and 1 single................going to use the single on my current project truck....just curious, for the guys wanting the half cab, why don't you just get a hook up with a SWB flleetiside or a Step? Blazers and Jimmys are what they are...just my opinion but half cabs are not cool in my book. Open air and the convertible side are what make these truck COOL

Re: What you got? Double or Singe wall top....Poll

I have a half cab also. I have a soft top, but need a couple of pieces for the frame. Also, not big on drilling holes for snaps and stuff.

I want a half cab because I think it would be easier to put on and off.
I just wish our soft tops were like other convertibles that could just unlatch and go up and down in one motion, Like an aircooled volkswagen.
How about a power top that could go up and down at the flick of a switch.

Re: What you got? Double or Singe wall top....Poll

So what's the deal with the "half cab" Is that a "sawzall special" or an actual top that was mfg'd by GM or some aftermarket outfit?

Well maybe, but if they weren't so rare I might be able to find one. But then again, if everyone had one I might not want one.

Re: What you got? Double or Singe wall top....Poll

I have two double wall tops. Just picked up the second for the low price of $40 with no damage, cracks, and it is not warped on the top like most are. Wish i had a single wall though along with a half cab for summer time easy on and off use.

I'd guess they are all single since they are basically a molded piece. Mine is anyways and it seems to be the one that is most common.
The differences I've seen with half cabs are that some have the "clasp" that attach to the top of window frame, and the others bolt on. Also the bulkhead might be different in some.
