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 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

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?

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....

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

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

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

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.

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

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