Wow, so you added a fulltop to it?  Any reasoning behind that?  I am looking to modify a half to a fulltop.
Got any door caps? :D

The truck was involved in a street accident in which in rolled onto its top.  Shell and windshield post where damaged. Available parts where used from a 77 blazer parts truck.  Don't let this fool you, this blazer is better than new and structurally sound. It is also smog exempt in California which is a bonus. I do not have any parts left like doors(only one was good enough to sell). I do have another 75 all original in need of restoration but that is not for sell. When I have more money I plan to do another custom project with it. I could have said it was a 1977 and save myself some time but I want to keep it real.

Hey Fresno, nice Blazer!. I have a 73 Jimmy I'm working on and was wondering which speaker kickpanels you used, or are they custom?

Thanks.

They are Q-Logic enclosures. Here are some below. I would check at a local stereo shop, or internet for a better price.  It only went back to 1978 blazer but should be the same as yours.
