Blazer without removable hard top

Some catalogs, even LMC suggest some Blazers were made without a removable top. Has anyone ever seen one orknow that one exists from 73-91?

I believe the early ones could be ordered with no top, and a regular pickup tailgate. I think that is what the catalog means by without removable top.

Bare bones

That's right -- the base '73 model came standard with no top whatsoever (no canvas top either), and no back seat. Ditto carpet, door panels etc. -- guess this version was for those who only wanted something to haul hay to the back 40. Guessing not many of these survived more than 5 years or so. And what about the standard base engine-- the 6 cyl ---- ever see a k5 with a 6 banger ?

Don't forget the Chalet option. Those had no top, just the camper.
