I bought this roll bar before I know what factory roll bars looked like for the 69-72 blazers. I'm not sure if this would be proper for my 71 or if it is for totally different year. looks to be factory built. what do you think?

That, I believe, is a factory roll bar for '73 - '75. It will work, but in my opinion doesn't look right.

I going to use the same one in my 72 but I'm going to remove the rear legs and bracket and make new ones to go higher on the bar and extend to the wheel well.

Don't think that there were "factory" roll bars for the 69-72's. Only aftermarket -but I could be wrong. Someone else will chip in. The most common 4 points that I have seen have the back legs bolting through the front slant of the wheel tubs.
