With my past K5s with a roll bar, I have always put 2 in id padding and canvas covering. On my current 70 I'm using Ottertex to make the cover. My local Grainger store had the padding in stock cheap. My roll bar mounts behind the front seats and behind the rear wheel wells. Maybe I'm trying to be macho about it, but with the lift and larger tires the 2 in. or 1 3/4 pipe just looked small compared to the rest of the truck. Now it stands out and looks a lot more beefy.

I've never gotten a definitive answer, or found any literature on whether or not the first gen Blazers came with a factory roll bar. Does anyone know? Great Forum!!
