Blazer half cabs
 

Anyone know how many different companies made half cab kits for Blazers? I found one today and its all steel, (steel top and bulkhead). It seems I remember one that used a fiberglass top.

Mine is fibreglass made by MTP in Minn.

Mine is also fiberglass, I have never seen a steel one.

If you get a chance post pics of it.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. I've seen a few of the fiberglass versions and didn't realize they were still being produced. The guy is asking for 800 for this one.

That's interesting, the bulhead looks like mine.

I don't think they still make the fiberglass cabs (every few years or so I hear rumors about it, but as far as I know they don't)

Thanks, Rg

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Bought a fiberglass one last year from a guy in Dallas said he was not going to make anymore materials were to high to make any money. Anyone know where you can find a bulkhead?

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

The bulkhead wasnt a very complicated piece to make, any sheetmetal shop should be able to bend one up for you....i sold mine to luv2xlr8, im using a pickup header panel, didnt like the way the bulkhead fit

Rustyparts had the demensions on one of his posts, i think, if not maybe you could contact craig. Dont know if blazermans panel is the same as a fibreglass one....

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Blazerman If you dont buy it can you PM the guys info I would love to buy it.

thanks.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Thanks for info I have somewhere the spec's. Thinking of using alum checker for back with alum angle.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

What did that run you?

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I think a little over a thousand, board member and i split the shipping from your neck of the woods. I think shipping was four hundred...

Wierd part about the deal was i showed a picture of it to the wifey, kidding that it would look awesome on my truck, and she said go for it, and bought it immediately sight unseen

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I want to see a half top with the Escalade EXT (Avalanche) triangles and third brake light....

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I like the sexy half top. wonder how much it is.
did you guys notice that blzr has a bench seat?

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I would love to buy one for my 72 blazer if anyone knows where one is for sale.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Youll just have to wait, and keep your eyes open. Only saw three come up for sale in the last six years, and i bought one. There was one for sale three months ago in the classified section, but i think it sold.....

If i see one, ill let you know

You could post a WTB, but you would have to be blue

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I contacted this guy on price and availability, about a month ago.He said he isn't making them at this time, but he would put me on his list.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

He has been taking names for 10 years now, and still hasn't made any except for this one.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Somebody bought the molds from my top, i think...se if juriasic 1 has any info. on the person

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

That would be me. I'm having a hard time finding someone to produce 2 or 3 at a time for a reasonable price. The way it looks now I would have to sell them for 1500 each.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Jaro, how much does yours weigh? ...about

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Hard to really tell, but can lift it myself, i would guess between 100-200

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

That's a whole lot better than 300-400lbs.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Im thinking 200 is bit on high side, but as you say, better then 400

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I don't see that being unreasonable if the quality is on par with what Jaros looks like. Is that a real number? Would it be textured or gelled at that? I assume the molds are smooth and the texture is an after the fact thing.

...and is it doable in carbon and if so how much more would that be?

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I think some carbon fiber is in order here....

Actually I would like a full top in CF....

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Actually, i agree with you, not unreasonable price at all. The product is not out there in any shape or form. Just a very limited market, but with limited production numbers, that shouldnt be a problem. Shipping is the biggest cost, building a pallet and all

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

The tops made from the molds I bought from Jurassic-1 weight about 75lbs. The paper work that came with the molds said "should be 60-65lbs finished" but I would say 75lbs is closer. These are the same molds used by Glasstite, Creative Products, Elite Custom Products, and Minnesota Truck Products.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

If the price would be in the $500 range I would buy one tomorrow.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I would buy a lot at that price. I gave 1000.00 for one last year with out the back wall the guy says materials are more now so would be higher if he made any more.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

This is probably close to what the market can handle. I've seen a few change hands at this price, including used ones. It's also not that much more than what a soft top costs nowadays, which I would consider a competing product for a lot of people.

But, on the comfort level of 40 year old heating system, i would prefer a 1/2 top that i only have to heat a smaller space

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

I don't need the heat down here in southeast Texas, but half cabs definitely have a cool look.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Ill agree with you on the 'cool factor', makes it much easier for an ol man to have the wind in his hair (what little i have left), plus my wifey digs convertibles

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Found mine in the junkyard for 20 bucks. Truck was gone and I walked I've the end of it and was like no that can't be what I think it is. Lol. I sold it a couple years ago for 200. The guy had been looking for about 10 years for one. Weighed about 140 pounds. I carried it on my back out of the yard I pulled it from.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

Yes I made your top (have you got it installed yet-how about pictures)
truckeez at yaw who

yea there's really no way someone can make stuff like the 69-72 tops for a $500.00 dollar bill, the materials have jumped way up--doubling each of the last two yrs. I have to charge $550 for the 76-91 custom cab back panels alone, and do the other pieces as add ons. i can crank out a few before it gets too cool--by early novenmber its too late.

Re: Blazer half cabs
 

One can always dream of a low cost option, but I think if a high quality lightweight half cab were available, you could sell them. Even at a much higher price.
