Soft Top Blazer

[edpdx]

I have been thinking of a way to cut down my Cargo Cover for my M1008 to fit my blazer. I would have to add a clear window, I suppose to maintain a rearview; but It does look cool IMHO.

Cut the poles down, then girdle cut the top and drop it down over the bottom portion of the cover about six inches from the button holes to maintain their function. Vinyl glue all cuts and then run it over to a sailmaker for finish stitching.

AND... you could still drop the top down as you would on the M1008 truck.

Here is one possible config. Another would involve making the rear zip up functional up the rear corners for roll-up access.

A rag top was available as an option when buying a Blazer. You might can find replacement bows from one of the aftermarket suppliers and save yourself some work.

Good luck finding the replacement parts. The soft top stopped being an option in the 70's.

Softopper - Pickup Truck Toppers, Camper Shells & Caps - Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Dodge & More makes soft tops now, no clue if they'd sell bits and pieces.

Bestop hasn't made their soft top for the K5 in over a decade.
Kayline and STC are out of business so no luck finding parts there.
Anyone else is forgotten and long gone.

Or for a slightly "slanted" approach.....
