Here is US Bodies version:

I have the full 73 conv K5 tub.

Yeah, their website has always kinda sucked. THey tried way too hard to make it "cool".

 

[muddybuddy]

i think that girl is a little too buff to make her "cool". any idea what the top runs or used to run?

 

[73k5blazer]

It's right on their website. $999 for the Pickup Top by itself.

Yeah, their Paper catalog and their website are loaded with late '80's fashions gals.
When I went down there to pick up my K5 tub, some of their office staff are the girls in the pictures.

 

[muddybuddy]

thats crazy price. i remember you mentioning how much you paid for the complete glass tub from them, and i thought i remembered it be pretty reasonable, and then they upped the price after you got it, lucky!

 

[73k5blazer]

Yeah the prices went waaaaay up. I paid $5500 for the Tub, front clip and front wheel wells.
The price for just the K5 tub now is $7500

This was my Crewcab with no box and shortened wheelbase. Didn't want or have a top for it. I installed a cage right after this to stiffen it up.

 

[chevy wrangler]

cool what happened to it??

 

[desertrat67]

I moved to the south where it rains(I was in El Paso) and bought a single cab K30 body, swapped the driveline and took the frame and cab to the scrap yard(frame was bent)

 

[chevy wrangler]

and by convertible, you mean topless.....im having mech engineer nighmares about a convertible linkage at just the mention of it.....

well of coures, this is probably gonna be one of those saturday projects that involves 5 or 6 of us back home, drinkin beer with a sawzall and possibly a torch.

I figured it just chop it at the bottom of all the windows and only leave like the winsheild so the cool lights are still up their.

That company has been plagued with quality problems over the years. Prior to learning this I had purchased several things from them. Poor fitment is the biggest complaint I have heard.
