If you google "K5 half cab" you'll get plenty of hits. There's a lot of homemade stuff out there and every now and then used kits pop up for sale although it's become kinda rare. I saw one on another site where a guy used a pickup cab and grafted it onto his Blazer, it looked good.

Re: 78 blazer cab rear window ideas wanted

the best way to make a half cab is to get access to a busted hard top and take the circular saw to it. important thing (ie the mistake i made) is to cut it on the sides BEHIND where the first bolthole fits to the bed rails. When you have that its actually relatively easy to manufacture. Bit of fiberglass sheet and expoy
