Soo...
I missed something maybe.
What's the top chop for?? It looks cool I just don't understand what it's for.
Are you going to close it in somehow??

I like the top treatment, got any better pics, or better lighting.
Looks like a great idea!
here more pics its only half done im waiting for it to warm up a bit or another time i can bring it to school. fiberglass does set up to well in single digit temps...
srry if the pics are crappy all i have to shoot photos with is my iphone and lighting in the garage isnt very good. things left to do to finish the top
1. sand
2. do second layer of fiberglass using fiberglass cloth for durability
3. sand again
4. paint and bondo depending on how well it smooths out after sanding
the top is cut down to allow more room in the bed area. the cage i am planning will extend back just like if the top was stock but the spare tire, highlift, one or two jerry cans, and other items will be mounted inside or ontop of the bed. i wouldnt be able to fit all that back there with the top being full length and i didnt want to have the spare tire hanging out behind the tailgate.
the spare will be mounted similiar to the current King Of The Hammers buggy's. should be pretty neat. i also plan on making some kind swing down carrier for the spare so that i dont have to lift a 38 to 40 inch tire all the way onto the back.
just another link to the rausch creek trip i have planned. if your located in driving range of the park check it out

Nice man. My dad has a 96. I like that truck a lot. Hows it tow the Blazer?
Decided what to do about the topper windows?
How's the tailpan coming?...I found on mine that 3.25 x 3 would work great for a truck that isn't lifted, but mine is 2" body lift and I got a 3x4...no 3.25 available, I also cut my box corners up about 1-1/2" to raise my floor pan.

tows great! i need to get some bags for the rear though squats a bit to much for my liking. has plenty of power. and gearing is great with the 6spd manual i swapped into it.
topper windows: gonna use lexan and seal it to the top with caulk that way if they get too scratched or break i can just peal back the caulk back and replace with a different piece of lexan. should be alot cheaper then custom pieces of glass.
tailpan: i just replaced mine with a remanufactured stock piece. i will be reinforcing it through the cage later on. figured it was one of those things where id save my time and leave it the way chevy designed it. if that ends up failing ill take your advice about the 3.25x3. seems like that will be very strong!
update!! rausch creek only a week away!
well alot has happened in the past two weeks so here we go.
1. deleted the stock engine crossmember and built my own to clear the draglink for the crossover.
2. got my dually hubs back from my buddy newly turned down to single rear wheel.
3. i did not want to have to go through grinding the crap out of the dana 60 calipers to clear my 15 inch rims so new rims and tires where in order. picked up a set of 39.5 18 wide 16.5 Bogger's for 300 with 40% left on 3 and one bald. picked up some cheap waggy wheels for them for this trip. i will be running a set of recentered h1's when i can get the money for them after this trip but in the mean time these rims will do.
i went and grooved the one tire that was bald and got it back to around 30% tread.
before
after
the other tires.
i thought it was a pretty good deal for only 300 they are only 2 years old and where on a street truck there whole life ( i knew the guy selling em)
3. built myself a new rear bumper.
sprayed it with duplicolor bed liner. turned out pretty good simple and effective i think.
gonna be buttoning up some other odds and ends today to get it ready for the 4 day trip to rausch in one week. im siked cant wait. got a total of 38 rigs going in my group so far.

had the blazer on the schools dyno today. spent the day tunning the carb and man did it need it! ended up putting down 176hp and 270ft/lbs of torque. lots of fun getting to make some pulls. check out the video.
