It took about 9 layers of paint on the hardtop to get the exact same colour as on the body.

Looks good! I'll own a blazer one day! I'm gonna take the camper shell off mine and sell it.

good luck on selling the topper. you'll probably have to wait for the right buyer to come along. I had a nice fiberglass one that came on my '88 k1500. You'd of thought I was trying to sell a dead cat. Took about 3-4 months before I had a call from someone looking for a good one for that vintage truck.

That's the thing, I don't think it was made specifically for a vintage truck because it doesn't look like one made for an older vehicle. The topper needs new paint so I don't think I'm going to ask a whole lot for it.

I think mine finally sold for 150 or 175. had a nice mat black finish, all the screens, the lift struts worked, all the glass was there. Yeah yours does look like a newer model, but it appears to fit well, at least in the photos. The problem that prevents a wider market for them is the differences in the shape of the truck boxes. For instance. the GMT400 trucks,('88-'98) the box narrowed from front to rear by about 5 inches. after that, the popularity of the extended cab short box tool over, along with newer box designs. I'm not saying you won't find a buyer, just not to be surprised if it lingers, and you renew the c-list ad a few times.

Everything works on mine as well, all the glass is there. All it needs is to be painted, if I can get $150-$175 for it. I'm more than ok with that, it'll just go right back towards the truck! I don't mind renewing the c-list ad, I've done it many of times haha.

I'd like to see more of your old man's truck. I really like the black and white one too.
