stock rollbar?
What does the stock roll bar look like? Does anyone have any pictures of one, or maybe an extra one? Does it just bolt to the floor? Thanks!

I think I've seen some pics of stock ones in the pictures section. The stock roll bar is small in diameter, less than 2" I think. It looks kinda goofy actually. I've seen 2 1/2"-3" in some blazer pics, they look much better. Yes they do bolt right to the floor and the wheel well.

71 Blazer CST man, Your blazer looks sweet! Not tryin' to offend anyone, too each his own, ya know. Its just that with the big honkin' fat bodied blazer, I like the big ol' fat 3" roll bar. I love all of our body style blazers, the roll bars don't make'em or break'em.

My glove box sticker is long gone, however i'm almost certain that it's factory bar. Although im not sure it came with MY truck factory.... Each plate at the bottom where the roll bar bolts in has 4 bolt holes....on my wheel wells though, there are only 2(Two) bolt holes (half that "should" be?) drilled in each wheel well. Anotherwords, there were never 4 holes in each fender, just 4 in all, 2 on each side. To make my roll bar even more secure i would(should) have to drill 2 more holes in each fender to put a nut in the empty spots. I think there were other "Factory" bars that mounted different though ( like on the TOP of the wheel well, and not the fornt part sloping down)

ON the primary bar (the one that looks like a horseshoe), wouldn't the bottom bolts that go through the floor come out inside the inner rocker and not give you access for another backing plate/nuts etc.?

Nope, you have acess where it comes through the floor at that location.
