Welcome to the site.I don`t recall any members with a convertible,but I`ve seen and discussed them here.Do you want a rag-top or make the top removeable like they were doin`with minis?Nice corral you got there.

Get a Blazer!

chevyben · 06-30-2006, 04:48 PM

K5 is to short I think.Can you massure yours center to center of each wheel well?

Longhorn Man · 06-30-2006, 05:04 PM

yes, a blazer is shorter than a SWB truck.

krue · 06-30-2006, 05:53 PM

i have a magazine article (somewhere) on a conversion kit that included all hardware and a removable fiberglass top. i'll see if i can dig it up somewhere.
probably is'nt made anymore, but hasd some great tips if you want to fab one up.

I have seen the half cab for Blazers and even did one on a friend of mine's '67 Bronco. That was a cool look with the hard top, then he ran a bikini top in the summer if anything at all.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-30-2006, 09:41 PM

lofly'a I would be very interested in that if you can find it

chevyben · 07-01-2006, 02:12 AM

I would like to see the info about the halfcab info to.I have a complete 4x8 mandrel bent custom frame and it is really to shot for the LWB truck I have on it now.Thats why I want the blazer massurement so when I go back to WA I can see if that would work.

chevyben · 07-01-2006, 02:16 AM

The truck frame I have was buit in 1994 buy grave digger northwest when it was in Squim WA Ithink is were it was.It has 2 1/2 ton axles 28" lift and the tires are 48" tall and 48" wide.
