The only supplier online for Blazer soft tops is Bestop and their picture of the top is really bad... Do any of you have pics of one of these on your truck... or know where i can get my hands on a fastrac top from specialty top co..?

Re: Soft Tops

I always hated the look of Bestop's top based on the pic they had on their website - that is until I saw it installed on various board member's K5's.

As you can see from Gary's pics above - the top actually looks very nice installed. They would have surely made more money from that top if they would have bought some photographs from Gary's K5 and used those to showcase their top.

Re: Soft Tops

Welcome from Seattle.

From my understanding, Bestop stopped producing first gen Blazer tops about a year ago. There was someone selling them on ebay a while back. The guy had apparently bought 100 of the remaining soft tops and was trying to sell them on ebay.

I'll agree, the photo on the Bestop website is bad. Gary's looks nice.
