Finally getting a 1/2 top and now I need your help!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need some pics of blazers that have 1/2 tops with bed covers. This is my only option since I have a full interior. I need to get some ideas for this.

I would also like to see this.

I hope you mean full interior minus the rear seat, cause no bed cover will cover them

A bed cover will cover mine because I have a 87 suburban rear seat that folds down.

OIC, Well I have been looking at doing this for a while, actually 4 Blazers ago,
yes I have had 4 in the last 4 years, A local topper place said that a swb one
would be really close according to his books, but would need a lil mod to work

I guess with no replys I may be the only one in the country with a bed cover and a half cab when I get done

I would say you are correct.

Well I started making my custom fiberglass cover today. I remembered I have a snug top cover for a 88-98 truck that I have let set outside on the ground the last 4 years. I went and retrieved it from the old house that we rent out and brought it home and started measuring and cutting. I was plenty long enough but not quite wide enough. Here is the fun part, I cut the front of it off to the lenght I needed for the side to side and then I cut the lip that goes down the bedside off. I am going to fiberglass that lip to where I cut the original front of it off. That lip is going to be the new side that goes down the bed of the blazer. The side that I cut the lip off of is going to be the new front. I hope this makes sense, basically I am turning the cover 180 degrees and that is how it is going to set on the blazer. I will get some pics the next time I work on it.
