Haha I did buy it that way. I think it's a stock type roll bar that was added onto to make a full cage. I took off all the padding and tape so it looks better now although now os more dangerous to my head.
Not planning on rolling it but just in case.....

That's funny because its exactly what my little 5 yr old brother did the first time he climbed into the Blazer.

I'll throw mine in and another project I'm working on. Too bad my wife does not like either one of them or understands the 'classic' car/truck thing, but my boys love them.

Wouldn't that be a '64 1/2? They came out in the middle of the model year

I guess you could. Although I've really never heard them referred to as halves. I do however hear the 64 mustangs referred to as halves fairly often.

I have a 70 formula, which also came out in the middle of the year due to the GM strike. I only hear that referred to a 70 1/2 once in a great while. I just call it a 70 :lol:

Okay, at the risk of being shunned, I'll post some of our pontiacs.

Here is my Formula after a day of racing at Norwalk, parked up on a chassis dyno for some tweaking....

Here is my fathers goat that he bought new,,,at the same event making a few shakedown runs with the new motor I built. Still racing the car after 40+ years.

http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/x...RWALK_1_07.jpg

And here is my 71 Ventura Sprint that I decided to bring out of a 20 year hibernation this past fall. An unrestored time capsule.

Great rides, thanks for sharing but lets get back to being topless. :thumbs:

This was one of my favorite blazers I ever owned, for some reason it was just 'really great' to drive.

It went in trade with my 72 C10 402 truck, along with the cab/chassis on the trailer for the blue blazer.

Nice K5, welcome to the board! What size tires are you running?

montsb 04-15-2010 12:40 AM

Re: Topless Thread
 
Thank you very much! Those are tires that Les Schwab used to carry. They are Wildcat EXT Radial LT. Size 33"x12.50Rx15LT. I think it is stock height and they fit :bann::bann:
