[QUOTE=SS Tim;7354312]To clear things up this is from GM dated January, 1972

"New Removable Top Assembly (RPO CC3) 1972 Blazer

A new (simplified construction) top is being offered to supplement the currently available (RPO CB8) top for Blazer models. The new top (RPO CC3) is a single skin design with three exposed interior roof rib reinforcements running from side to side, whereas the RPO CB8 top is a double skin design with inner roof panel lines running front to rear. Part numbers for the two tops are as follows:

Tim - thanks for sharing this info. I had a guy from a local repair boat shop come by the house to take a look at my top. In the photos below I drew black annotation marks to call out, or confirm if these are the roof rib reinforcements running side to side? We were discussing these and neither of us could determine if this was factory or if this was a repair that happened at some point in time.

Thanks!
Mike

This is the driver front side. They have the same matching lines on the other side as well.

Pretty sure the roof ribs are up Top and not on the sides. It gives the top the strength it needs to support its own weight and not sag.

Here's a spid on a glove box door from a blazer that got parted years ago

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

That's about as loaded a 70 as I've seen. Wish it still existed.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Unusual options. AUX battery, camper mirrors.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Another CST

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Does any one have the option two ton colors for the seats.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Those trucks were loaded about s much as can be possible. My dads jimmy had the camper mirrors stock I believe as well. Wish it would have lasted long enough to be my first truck. Mom wrecked it one winter and sold the jimmy as a parts truck. I was a sad little boy to se it go. That's why I bought my blazer. Wanted those memories back.

Heres my 71 CST

Nice - thanks for posting these. Gary by two tone do you mean Highlander plaid? Can't recall seeing another OEM style seat set up close to two tone for utility or sport buckets.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Isn't there a cloth and leather combo that looks like th highlander but not plaid. I've seen some as seat covers. Wasn't sure if someone recovered a stock one like the tweed and vinyl or something like that.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Not that I can recall but that's not saying much. Would be nice to see examples. Anyone with original paint or interior survivors should post reference pics on the survivor thread for posterity: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=584788

Would be nice to see some original spare tire cover pics.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

1969 only two tone red, blue and green I have seen the red ones and green ones but not the blue ones.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

here are the green ones

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Wow! Original covers?! Learn new things here all the time. Those look neat.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

I will be putting the two tone red in my 69 blazer.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

posi front and rear too, thats cool:metal:

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Two-Tone Blue bucket seats.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Do you have this truck is it a GMC and does does it have and option for them on the spid sheet.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

No I don't own the truck. Yes it is a 69 GMC pictured. As far as specifics you would need to contact Mel at Classic Bowties after all it is his picture. He posted it here a couple of years ago.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

low mileage truck ?! currently on ebay. low grade truck with AC and body mouldings added

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Few more from current ebay listings...

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Hoping to see the SPID from a St. Louis K5 that has an original equipped single wall top...

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

original from C-list

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Cool - white/black CST with base gauge cluster

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Currently on ebay. The wrong mirrors are very obvious and it has the wrong hubcaps for the spid. Passenger side seatbelt is long retractor is that right? Nice extreme bend front hooks.
For the most part the truck looks fairly correct and solid.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here's ours. Her name is Olive according to my son.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Thanks for posting guys. Dirish that's a great color combo!

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here is the SPID from one I'm picking up this weekend.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

1969. Cool turbines. On eBay now (not mine). Early auto tranny in a 4wd application.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Wheels

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Interesting that in 69 the inside of the top was body color

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Cool 69. I noticed the B in the Vin #. My '70 built in Sept 69 begins with K. Could it be another one yr quirk?

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Yes I believe the "B" was specific to 69 Blazers. B for Blazer :) ?

Edit: here's another example of a 69 SPID from this thread w the "B" http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=183

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

No SPID but wanted to post a pic of this blazer w slots just for fun and to compare w the turbines above

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here is mine.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Here is one from what I believe was a 1970 Blazer.

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Nicely optioned, frt&rr posi, must be a complete animal in FWD

Re: Blazer SPID thread?
 

Yeah, I bet it is. The guy with the Blazer is installing 3/4 running gear. I think I am going to have to buy them from him.
