Welcome to the board from Bothell/Bellevue. Where in Puyallup are you located? My brother-in-law lives in one of those new developments on the South Hill.

Post some pictures of your rig when you get a chance!

Check with Wes at ClassicHeartBeat.com in Olympia or Frank (board member PICKMUP) who is also in Olympia. They both nab just about every good parts blazer in the area.

Craigslist.org and littlenickel.com are good sources too.

If you think you'll be running with the top off most of the time, you could always get a soft top. http://www.specialtytopco.com/ and http://bestop.com/ both sell new soft tops for first generation Blazers. I believe that Specialty Top Co (STC) is going through either a sale or reorganization, so you might want to give them a call to see when they will be shipping again before ordering. Personally, I like the look of the STC tops better than the bestop product. I had a snap top on my '69 and one of their fasttrack tops on my '72 (pictures in my profile and at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2480826)

The hard tops aren't too much better than the soft tops. I'll keep an eye out for ya. Check on CK5.com too. There are a lot of guys from California on that board and they sometimes ditch their hard tops

BIG BLAZE · 11-21-2006, 09:44 PM
