1973 Chevy blazer removable top!!!

[Pete Peralta]

Looking for ideas on how to remove and lift the top manually or with a winch! Ended an easy way will be removing it solo! Thanks

Two to three people can easily lift and remove one

If you have vertical space in your garage, you can 2 strap sling it and hoist it straight up into the garage

I guess I’m looking for ideas on how to hoist it up from all four corners… solo!

 

[Bent77]

You can do it with two straps. Keep them separated on the corners and tie them to one central lift point above

Or use 4 separate straps and walk it up slowly

HF hoist, three 2x4s, eye bolts, rope, and lag bolts. Lag the top to the 2x4s so it don't slide. Make a H shape with the 2x4s. Also, 4 HF furniture dollies to lower it down on so you can roll it around.
