Half cab
 

I had been working on getting a half cab for my Blazer for a long time. I had been talking to someone who had one but he was in Tennessee and with me taking care of dad there was just no way of getting there to see and buy until now.

I am hoping to get a few more months driving time by using this and it will hopefully be easier to install, store, and remove. I hope it survives the 1100 mile trip home. I’ll post pictures when installed but that could be a while.

Re: Half cab
 

I look forward to seeing it installed. Who made it?

Re: Half cab
 

Nice! I have to admit I’m a little jealous. :lol:

Re: Half cab
 

Looks great! I noticed yours doesn't have a sliding window, is it a regular truck backglass in it? My slider is missed up but I'd like to fit the regular backglass in it.

Thanks, Rg

Re: Half cab
 

I am sorry but I do not know the answer to that question but I sure would like to know is I wouldn’t mind putting a slider in this if it was possible. Maybe somebody else knows the answer to that question.

Mine is a MTP but yours looks a little more squared off at the back of the roof, so I don't think it is a MTP

On the brochure I posted below it says same back glass.

I bought this while I was down there.

Mark now you won’t have any time to drive the blazer you’ll be to busy mowing,cleaning the house and the pool :smoke:

Re: Half cab
 

That garage is too small.

Re: Half cab
 

There is a two car garage on the side of the house not shown in those pictures. And that one car garage you could actually drive in and park a second car in and there is a large area for tools and a workshop all around.

Rare in that area but it has a full basement. Half of that house is workshop and garage in the basement and the other half of the basement is a few nicely finished rooms. There’s even a half bath in a slop sink in the basement

After years of taking care of dad it’s time to do something for me and get out of this place called Massachusetts. I bet it’s six months before I’m fully moved and everything’s taken care of. I’m negotiating with the previous owner for keeping his zero turn mower. And it’s a saltwater pool and my friends that live down there said they’re not as high maintenance as a chlorine pool. I’ll let you know when I find out first hand. I wasn’t looking for and I didn’t really want to Pole but I’m not upset that it has one. There’s two spare bedrooms with a bathroom between them. Once I’m all finished you’re welcome to visit or stop on your way somewhere else anytime sir.

Re: Half cab
 

Glad you are moving out of mass u know what i think of that sh.t state

Re: Half cab
 

I literally hate it here! Massachusetts where Lexington, Concord, Bunker Hill, the tea party, the shot heard around the world. Massachusetts where freedom began and ended about 30 or 40 years ago

Re: Half cab
 

Nice place, where is it?

Re: Half cab
 

Is that the one Mike Cofield had in Alabama?

Re: Half cab
 

It came out of greenback Tennessee and the guy has owned it for years. So I would say no?

Re: Half cab
 

Lebanon Tennessee.

Re: Half cab
 

Cambridge was fun for the time I lived there but have to agree w you guys. Seat of the American Revolution. I visited all the historic sites. Not many Southies like Kenny left :)

Re: Half cab
 

First of all let me say, I mean no disrespect by this question...
What is the obsession with a half cab for a Blazer?
It essentially converts it to a single cab pickup and leaves the entire rear area exposed to the elements.
Also it's ironic that Greenback TN was mentioned....I live about 6 miles from there. The entire town is all of 2 blocks long...but...they do have a post office...:lol:

Re: Half cab
 

I mean no disrespect either sir. I bought it for me. The soft tops can be noisy and cold in early spring and late fall. The half cab is much lighter than the factory fiberglass full top so it should be easier for me to install by myself. With it installed I might get a couple more months use out of my Blazer.

I generally don't drive my Blazers in the rain. In the odd circumstance I do get caught in the rain with the bed exposed I am 61 years old. How much time do I have left? I doubt I will be alive if and when it rusts out. Someone else's problem when I am gone.

Re: Half cab
 

I appreciate your response...too often people take offence to a comment that's not meant to be offensive.
I thought it was likely for ease of removal/install.
I have a soft top for my '72 and yes it's kinda noisy but with the heater on high, it's tolerable even in cold weather....but....
I live in Tennessee so "cold" is a relative term....:lol:
BTW....I'm 66 so struggling with the factory top can be, let's say "challenging"....
I carry a tarp in my '70...just in case...

Re: Half cab
 

I run a soft top year-round. It was 2 degrees here Tuesday morning. It's a bit colder than Tennessee... When I put my Blazer together I upgraded the squirrel cage, so it blows better than stock, but it still takes a while to warm it up. And, yes, it's noisy, but I don't drive on the freeway much. Oh, and I just turned 63.

Re: Half cab
 

Just turned 69 and have a jimmy with soft top so i want to be in this 60s club too even if it’s for only 1 year :lol:

Re: Half cab
 

I am almost 45. I will answer this my way.
I want a half cab because I want a way to drive mine every day without having to worry about weather. I also live in the western Burbs of Chicago so weather is an issue. If I had the half top it would be much easier to take the top on and off. 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!

Re: Half cab
 

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.

Welcome to Tennessee.. I have a farm in east TN also and love it there. and thankfully it doesn't sound like you are "aheem" (redneck clears throat) a stupid liberal lol
