I didn’t read all the way to the bottom because I actually liked the idea. Then when I started reading the comments and I saw it was an April fools prank I was really disappointed. I love the old square body Blazers and Broncos where the tops came off. Particularly the Chevy where it came off of the cab in the mid 70s and it had just a windshield like a big jeep. Blast you and this joke. That would’ve been my next truck

Kinda looks like my 1972 Blazer 4x4 that had three bolts at the windshield and 5 down each side for the removable fiberglass top. I rigged up a winch mechanism in my garage to lift the 300lb top and drive out from under it. It was a fun truck. It was real.

My favorite were the 74, 75 and 76 square bodies like that.

Wow! What an original Ford idea!

If ya don't count Broncos from the '60s...

Not true.
Now I know this was a April Fools,
But this would not have been an original idea by ford.
Back in the late 80s (1989),
Dodge came out with the Dodge Dakota Sport pickup in a convertible. It didn't sell well so it was short lived.

'66 Ford Bronco half-cab... more/less a pickup convertible.

Where does the top go? How ugly is it with the top up? (If someone posted pictures, I didn't read the whole thread.)

Obviously the date was a clue, but this should've raised some flags too lol...

First clue should have been no roll bar in a truck for today's litigious society.
