If I had the half top, I would also make a custom tonneau type cover for the back and change the rear seats to fold down under the cover.
As much as I love my Blazer, I have to admit that the fiberglass top is a bit of a pain in the man parts. I do not really want a soft top that much. Not to mention they are a bunch of cash.
I really want to use my metal shaper skills to make a custom aluminum full top and a half top. That would be really ideal. Partly because my blazer top never even keeps the interior dry and I want to make a new top to actually seal the darn thing up for once like a normal car. I make custom stuff out of sheet metal like motorcycle tanks, car parts and stuff. I would love to challenge myself to make a replica top out of aluminum! Same shape and everything but made without the issues that the fiberglass one has.
Maybe I just make a carbon fiber replica!?! I work with it too!

I want a half cab also for the reasons you just outlined, including the tonneau cover add on. Have you attempted the replica yet? I am interested to see what you come up with.
