1983 GMC K5 Jimmy

"It is by far the best decision that I've ever made. ZERO leaks. Installation in less than one hour. The versatility is by far its best feature! This is a MUST HAVE for any K5 owner! I was a little concerned with the price. Not anymore!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Thank you Softopper!!!"

— Jeff G. (5/5)

Installation was very hard. It

"Installation was very hard. It took 3 (sometimes 4) of us all day to get it on, as we had to mess with it a lot to get the buttons on the sides to reach. Videos would be helpful. It would also help to include a list of recommended tools such as canvas stretching pliers (you will need something to grab it since it’s way too tight to do it with your hands). Otherwise once we got the top on, it holds up real nice and it looks great!"

— Shanel C. (4/5)

Canopy snaps

"Awesome product but im having trouble with probably half the snaps dont fully snap in just wondering if anyone else is having this problem"

— Troy (3/5)

Perfect Fit - Well designed

"Works great on my 1986 Blazer. Easy up, easy down!"

— James M. (5/5)

Excellent item. The only problem

"Excellent item. The only problem was that metric thread fasteners were provided instead of 5/16-18. Otherwise, perfecto."

— Joseph W. (5/5)

Quality is very good. Fits

"Quality is very good. Fits perfectly and installation was easy. Like it much better than the hard top. Makes into a safari wagon in just a few minutes. Love it!"

— kendell s. (5/5)

Q&A

How much is Shipping to germany?
The shipping cost to Germany would depend on where in Germany the Softopper is getting delivered to. Our customer service team would be happy rate the package for you if you want to send them your shipping address. You can contact them at 1-800-810-7227 or [email protected]
how does the front of the top atatch to the windshield / roof on a 75 full top blazer? also aroun the window area? thank you
Great question Joe! For that top we have a customer header bar that uses the existing hard top holes to attach. The header bar has snaps that the canopy attaches to. Around the window area, we have deck hinges that attach to the corner of the windshield. Custom forward crossbars and door surrounds are then used around the door. We are always willing to send installation instructions if you want to take a look at them before purchasing!

Softopper® BLZ3O Installation Sheet
Additional Information

Installation/Removal
The Softopper installs in minutes with custom clamps without any permanent modifications required. No drilling needed. Non-adhesive weather stripping provides waterproofing for your entire truck bed. It takes one person mere seconds to remove your Softopper entirely and folds flat for quick, easy storage in any space.  

Modular and Versatile
Customize your Softopper for how you work and play. In addition to the fully open and fully closed configurations, the canopy’s side panels and rear window roll up for easy access. No more crawling through the bed to get to gear up front. It’s also dog friendly. Open up the sides and give your pal plenty of air with protection from the sun and rain. Replaceable clear vinyl windows provide complete visibility through your truck bed.

Quality/Durability
Made in North America from the highest quality materials. A rust-free, anodized aluminum frame supports a 2-Ply, laminated PVC-coated canopy. The canopy is waterproof, UV, rot and mildew resistant, and is incredibly easy to clean. This 4-season sailcloth shrugs off beating sun, pouring rain, heavy snow and hurricane-force winds. Uses heavy duty #10 YKK zippers. The non-adhesive weather stripping protects your entire truck bed. And all parts are user replaceable.

Substance with Style
Available in three colors: Stealth Black, Desert Tan, and Battleship Gray. There are three options for the replaceable window panels: Clear, tinted and solid. Looks as great as the day you bought it, for years to come.

Everyday Utility
Strikes the balance of bulky, heavy camper shells and space-limiting flat tonneau covers. Use fully closed for weather protection and security, quickly collapse it open for hauling or go safari style with sides rolled up. No significant change in gas mileage. No wind noise even when driving at highway speeds.
