Re: rare single top chrome hold down strips (different version)

I had 2 sets that were different the leg going over the inside edge was longer on the one set. Actually another forum member noticed it when he was over and brought it to my attention. See post 31 on the link below we thought maybe it was a CST non/CST thing because the non/CST blazer's don't have the chrome strip for the rear panel.

Re: rare single top chrome hold down strips (different version)

That's interesting. I'll bet Dwayne is onto it. My CST has the shorter lip version.

Anyone with a non-CST single wall 1972 K5 to chime in with what version is on their truck?

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

That has the longer leg it may interfere with the rear panel strips if you are doing a CST

Re: rare single top chrome hold down strips (different version)

Can anyone share a pic of how they look when installed. I am not sure if the lip is supposed to be on the inside or..? To me it would make more sense to place a rubber strip along the rail where the top meets first to avoid any leaks but hopefully someone on here has the correct solution.. Also, it seems like they have to be removed when the top is removed as well.. thoughts.?

These strips are for a single wall top. They go between the bolts and the top itself under the side window area.

On a single wall top, the bolts go down into the bedside. So from up to down it goes- bolts, strips, top, and then bedside.

So yes, when you remove the top these are removed also. They do not go between the top and bedside.
