Soft Top Question
Hey guys, new guy here, already posted in the new members area...
Got my 71 blazer about 6mo ago... My question is does anyone else have a soft top. Mine came with one, but I havent figured out exactly how to put it on. I am pretty sure I am missing a bunch of hardware, but all the tubes, softop, windows, button channels, seem to be there. Just wondering if anyone can help me out with some pics of theirs? Maybe I can figure out how mine might work. Thanks in advance! |

Re: Soft Top Question
First of all welcome from Oregon !!!! Second, Herb 101 did a write up about putting on a Bestop Tiger Top so you can compare what you have to he shows in the pictures to yours. Also Bouncy Truck has pdf instructions for the STC top. Here is the link to Herbs tread.

Re: Soft Top Question
I had a set of instructions, but can't find them for the life of me. I think bouncytruck sent them maybe he can hook you up!

Re: Soft Top Question
PM me your email address and I'll send you the STC Fasttrack directions. I think the bestop directions are on their website. Between the two, you should be able to figure out how to install just about any of the tops out there.

Re: Soft Top Question
I have a brand new uninstalled (not for sale) Best top soft top. I could probably take some pics and measurements of the parts you need. It might take a couple of weeks though.

Is that mount all you need? If you don't hear from me for a couple of weeks PM me. I may have other things on my mind and I do not want to forget about you. I'll see if I can dig the top out soon but I am going in for surgery in one week so I have a lot to do before then. |

Re: Soft Top Question
Update...
After looking at the parts list and going through all the tuffy boxes in the truck, I found all the parts that were "missing", so hopefully I can try and get it on this weekend! and it looks like the PO had to fab some of the parts himself...
