Blazer roll bars

I recently picked up a rollbar that the person said it was factory to the 69-72 blazer/jimmy. Was for agood price but it is not all one piece the legs that bolt to the wheel hub were sleeved to the main driver side to passenger side hoop. I am trying to keep my 71 blazer original and would like to add a roll bar, can anybody tell me if I got a NOS or homemade job?

Some homemade roll bars have clean welds and nice bends!

Re: Blazer roll bars

I believe all rollbars were aftermarket. May be wrong

Re: Blazer roll bars

Some of these other guys can correct me if I am wrong but there were no factory roll bars. It was just a dealer installed option. You have what many consider to be a "factory style" roll bar but that's it. Most of the dealer installed bars were hickeys. I don't believe that's what yours is but definitely the same style.

-Cool thanks, yeah theres no markings or stamping but it looks well built not a homemade job for sure.
