The consoles are the same (other than a yellow bowtie instead of blue bowtie, and some of the later ones had a slightly improved hinge which went farther into the console and had more fasteners).

I plan on adding some supports to go from this bar to the windshield frame or to another bar bent to fit the front door frame and windshield frame. Not a true rollbar, but it will look good and add some support to the windshield so the top can come off before the rocker boxes and floor get repaired. I should get it in the next few days and will post pics then.
I think the '73-'75 Blazer rollbars will fit our Blazers. I have a couple of pictures I can send you if you are interested.
