Took a peek at it last weekend. Pretty good shape for its age. Canvas looks to be fairly new. Great price as well.

I wonder how well that fit on the 72. It was built for the 73-up, so I wonder if there were problems with sealing to the windshield header.

To mount on a first gen Blazer, you have to cut down a hardtop. The hardtop covers from the windshield header to the camper. Ask me how I know:)

Cleszkie, I knew I'd seen that somewhere. Thanks for posting.

Appreciate the kind words. It will look better once I get the whole truck painted a single color (the original ochre)!

Actually...there were made for back in 72. I have seen many that have used the front section of the original hard top to seal it up. This one is the first i have seen that used a different approach so i think this was done way way back when.
