Check out this fiberglass cab

Thought this was pretty cool. Don't know if this particular one has ever been posted or not.

Re: Check out this fiberglass cab

Definitely gives more room behind the seats but I'm not sure I like how it looks being all 'fat' in that area.



Someone took a factory hard top and did a fine job of cutting it down though.

Nice blazer, wonder what it'll end up selling for.

Edit:
After looking more, that top looks pretty original and untouched...anybody know?

I was too, U.S. Body Source (think that's the name) used to make one but the top wasn't removable, they built the windshield frame/roof into one solid structure.

Not available anymore as far as I'm aware though.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to disappoint anyone.

I would like to see some better pics of it. Assuming it is a cut up full top, someone did some pretty decent fiber glass work to get it in that condition. If we are being picky, I would probably change the shape of the back edge a little, but all in all I would be proud of it if I were the craftsman that built it.

Re: Check out this fiberglass cab

You can still buy New 1/2 tops, if you want to spend the cheese

Yes, it's a cut down full top. I know the guy, he bought the Blazer that way. Sorry no build pics.
