Luis_gz06 · 06-05-2007, 03:54 AM

Can someone post a pic of the ORIGINAL Blazer hardtop front bracket bolts!

Here's a pic of what im talking about. Thanks.

Mine has the phillips head style bolt where your hex head bolt is located.

jfortner · 06-05-2007, 11:01 AM

Mine has studs where your bolt is. There is then a nut that holds the bracket on the stud. Looks stock on mine? 1971 K5, but I think it might have been a Canadian vehicle?

Luis_gz06 · 06-05-2007, 02:26 PM

Any pix??

bouncytruck · 06-05-2007, 02:56 PM

Mine has philips head screws too. But I don't have a picture.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-05-2007, 03:05 PM

X3 Phillips Head

5/8" Head Width
3/4" Thread Length
5/16-18 Threads

**Steven B** · 06-05-2007, 03:31 PM

Phillips head all 3

Luis_gz06 · 06-05-2007, 04:04 PM

Ok, I guess that helps! Now are those phillips head bolts the same as the ones you put underneath the top? Its a doublewall top. Thanks!

my double wall uses the same bolt for the windshield and on the sides. both are the same now...probably not original.

jkade · 06-06-2007, 08:47 AM

Mine used the same bolts as the sides also.

DURRTY · 06-06-2007, 02:46 PM

If you mean under the bed rails? Then No, they are quite a bit different on mine

What is in your photo just holds on the top of the door weatherstriping. They don't hold any part of the hard top in place. The outside front corners of the top are held in place by a long bolt running through the Blazer/Jimmy exclusive sunvisor brackets and into a threaded insert in the top.

I think you only had a c-clamp and gravity holding your top on...

No one knows this answer? I guess no one likes me on this board.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-14-2007, 02:39 PM

Sorry, like I said in another post related to this one, I do not use them I
only use the 2 at the front in the middle, and the 2 brackets in the rear.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-14-2007, 07:19 PM

They are 5/16" body bolts. WES

Luis_gz06 · 06-15-2007, 12:23 AM

Thanks Wes! And Luv, thats alright, no trip.

BobbyK · 06-20-2007, 11:07 PM

He's what 's on my 71.
I make sure I lube the threads with anti-seize compound as they are a b@tch to get out if they are rusted.

Thanks for the pic! And yes, there a pain to get them out when it's rusted.
