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

hotrodhomi · 08-28-2006, 10:10 PM

I found one. I called a guy that was parting out a blazer because I wanted some seats and a consol, he didn't have either, but he did have a halftop. I'm stoked. I can't wait to get this thing cleaned up so I can put it on. What do you guys use for a gasket on the floor? Does anyone sell something like this? Not having any luck with the picture resizing using my Mac, I'll try again tomorrow with my PC.

Is there a company that makes those half tops?

tom71 · 08-28-2006, 10:35 PM

congrats, does he have the bulk head too?

hotrodhomi · 08-28-2006, 11:16 PM

Yeah it has the bulk head. I think I got a steal on it. $200. It has a slider rear window that I want to replace with a one piece, but the fiberglass is in great shape. Its smooth, did these come like that?

Nice score! You have been looking for this for along time. I guess time wins out after all! How is your blazer ridding these days? Their is a car show in town on Tuesday (8-29-6) from 5pm on if you are interested. I will be on main street right behind my house. The 67SS is all shinned up!

kevin- That sounds like fun, but I have prior plans. I like car shows, big or small. As for the ride- I haven't hit bottom yet.

2wdBlazer · 08-29-2006, 08:31 AM

All the half-tops i've seen posted are smooth, including mine. Welcome to another elite club!

**raggedjim** · 08-29-2006, 09:32 AM

The one I have is textured like the full top. It is a Glasstite.

Nice score

hotrodhomi · 08-29-2006, 05:16 PM

As promised, here are the pics.

hotrodhomi · 08-29-2006, 05:20 PM

is this the same rear window that is in a truck? I want to get rid of the slider.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-29-2006, 05:26 PM

WOWSERS, YOU STOLE IT

IGOR · 08-29-2006, 05:58 PM

Your top and bulkhead look exactly like mine which was made by Glasstite. The rear window isn't the same as the truck, I already tried. If you find a window that will fit let me know I want to do the same thing to mine.

hotrodhomi · 08-30-2006, 11:40 AM

I wonder how much a glass shop would charge me to cut one. It wouldn't be hard to make, its a flat piece.

onetonk5 · 08-30-2006, 05:34 PM

thats Very cool!!

Big Block · 08-30-2006, 06:15 PM

Man, I want one too!

Not much left on the truck. Fame, tub, brackets, misc. Tub looks good. hardly any rust. good windshield frame. Not any parts that I need.

If you pull it out and make a template a glass shop can make you one. They will have to send it out to have it tempered unless it's a large shop with ovens.

My guess is about 100.00+/-...
