WTB - '71 Blazer rear lift gate

[ubstung71]

Hello, know its a long shot but I trashed my rear lift gate fiberglass backing out of the garage with it open. I have all the HW and glass so even just the fiberglass would work.

Stock '71 double wall top.

They do make repro hatches for about $500. If you really want it.

Who offers a reproduction?

Ouch, don't know if I want it that bad but who offers this? I couldn't find anything online but I didn't spend a lot of time searching assuming they weren't available.

Brothers trucks offers them, and LMC may even have them, but I haven't checked. It's just the fiberglass a shell though, no hardware.

If you do find one, I'll bet you a quart of oil that within two years, the entire top will be cut into a hundred pieces and slowly added to your weekly trash pickup, or sold to someone else who will do that within two years.

Try...

$649 at Brothers for the fiberglass repo! Maybe its time to go soft top. Haven't investigated those in a few years. I'll post in the other tech forum. I do live in a colder climate but I never really drive the Blazer much during the winter anyway as I have a more civilized winter SUV. Thanks

A member in north florida "Thedude7504" has a top for a '72 K5 listed in the "general parts for sale" section here..maybe he'd separate the liftgate ?..
