Chopping a removable blazer top?

[kaharshs]

So Ive been thinking about chopping up a fiberglass top since I converted my suburban to a blazer top. I want to get the back end of a standard cab truck for the rear window and metal around it and graft it into almost a tonneau for the rear end of my truck. It will be romovable of course. Anybody chop up a top? I was wondering if they have a internal metal structure or whats inside before I dive into this. Any pictures?

When I chopped mine I didn't encounter anything, I chopped it up in pieces to dump it.
I didn't cut into every inch of it but I did cut it in 3 foot sections.

I was under the impression there were some metal supports in the tops. I have not cut one up but I remember a thread on here where someone wanted to do a "safari" style top out of one but was not sure of how to reinforce it after cutting through the metal supports.
Again I am not sure but I do remember someone else saying there were.

I cut mine to bits to toss it as well. There were 2 or 3 metal supports that ran across it IIRC.

Indeed.

I have a soft top at my parents' house though. It's used, but I'll be pickin it up this weekend to see what it's gonna take to get it on there.

there's metal. be careful. i cut one up with a circular saw, but i didn't go near the metal components (at front and rear, across its width.)
