Re: Blazer half cabs
Looks cool to me, nice transformation....i like the wheels too
|
Re: Blazer half cabs
That does look pretty good. Rlong do you get wheel rub when wheeling? Looks like the tires are pretty close on the rear axle.

Yes I guess that is what it is called.

Anyway, this is all what the situation was a few years back and might have changed some, but I doubt by much if it has, you should check before you commit. It would really suck to go through all the effort and have it look like crap a year or so later. Your truck looks pretty capable of getting dirty and you'll want to make sure it's also capable of being scrubbed down and cleaned. |
Re: Blazer half cabs
Thanks for the info I will be doing some checking.

Re: Blazer half cabs
Bringing this back from the dead cause I just scored a MTP
1/2 Top and I need a new window seal for it? She has the rear slider in it, looks exactly like the one "Jaros44sr" has. PS - I sold that bulkhead along with my Pacesetter top. |
Re: Blazer half cabs
Nice, post up some pics mounted on a 2wd.....LMK if you find a gasket, mine is separated alittle
|
Re: Blazer half cabs
Mine's still intact, but separated in both
corners just like your one corner. Don't have it on yet do to no visors and my Windshield header doesn't have the holes in center for other brackets. Bulkhead isn't real good, but does fit better than one I got from you. She needs a little TLC. I just couldn't pass her up once I saw pic's. |
Re: Blazer half cabs
Jim, Have yet to find a gasket, but got it mounted.
I made an Aluminum cheater bar to hold rear down for the CTC trip until I can have bulkhead repaired. I will try to post a few pic's this weekend on Blazer. |

the molds of other stuff I saw were not reinforced with any kind of bracing to provide integrity or were they anywhere near the right thickness, there were Ferrari replica stuff that were only 3/16" for front end molds--all that kind of big stuff has to be done correctly to make sure they stay in the right shape. the guy he had running the shop say'd "we make about one of these a month" -I had to check myself from busting out laughing, No one is selling one of those a month--no way, especially having some shop sub stuff,,, when he went into the next room I went over and tapped it with my finger--just the steel copy of what he watched me do when I started the project-- with a buddys roof clip ---> in Bruces garage. he lost patience and would not let me get the model to the stage where I could take it to my shop to finish, I ended up having to spend 3.5 mos driving 1 1/2 hrs away to the other guys house and finish the model-- and build the molds for the Blazer Sport Top on his 72. ill never do projects like that one again--only stuff im into. |

Thanks for the input. I was told that the first mold failed because it was to light. I remember reading that someone had molds here in Nebraska. I have a local manufacturer considering producing them for me, I just hate to eat 10 of them if they in fact decide that 10 is their minimum production number. They aren't cheap but I'd really like to have on. Is there any interest out there? |

someone with no sense about this market gets that many made up, and ever one of the old truck guys would sit around watching like vultures for what they all have been waiting for all along, You tumbling on the price to attempt getting some of your loss back,a $450.00 top. even if you could find a honest shop in that Cut Throat buis --they would want $750 to make them, Seriously you would loose your ass on that. I would never make anything a customer dosent pay 1/2 down first, period. |

If you look closely you can see the Aluminum cheater bar in pic #1 running across under the rear of my top. Still need to get the minor spots on it fixed & paint it. (Also need the bulkhead repaired, bottom is all gone) http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/z...psf2d13007.jpg http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/z...psae43a967.jpg http://i831.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps0f3b477c.jpg |

Its not a go deal -- the crowd .... I wont say they Strive to stay broke but that's a fact of life these days, even if it were-- lowlifes like Bezos have conditioned the brains of his minions that they are entitled to free shipping. the whole crowd of vendors selling the cheap Chinese sheetmetal--against 125 others selling the same thing. the institution of Entrepreneur-ship is now basically devoid of the most important detail--the margin. |
