73 soft top on a 90 model? no 73 donor?

[daviddear]

I've read the post on converting a 90's cab to a 73 cab. Can I cut and install a 73 soft top on my 90 model blazer with out replacing windshield frame? I will not run a hardtop. I do plan on installing a full custom cage and possible putting in some sort of rocker box. . I plan on using an stc top. Has anyone done this?

thanks

Dave

I haven't seen how the STC monuts to the front part but I had a blazer and the Previous owner built a soft top for it and just attached it to the top of the fame so any 76-91 top that was cut for a conversion would work with it.
If STC attached it to stock bolt locations on the 73 then it won' work.

You should be able to do that.
My STC top on my '74 uses an aluminum strip that is screwed into the top of the windshield frame. (add-on).

Take a look in the picture below and you should be able to see the stip that I had to put on for the STC top.

(Oh, forgot to add: this is a Fastrack top)

i first read this and though, "this SOB is gonna cut a 73 SOFT TOP to fit his 90's truck????" Then i stopped and realized you're cutting the hard top off the truck, not cutting the soft top!

Good to know, that means I can easily do a full vert on my 76 when I decide to.

Had the same question recently............if you use a soft top, you can just cut yer '76-'91 windshild frame and use it as is.............pics of my '73 and '75 that both have STC tops.
