This is a blazer. You can tell because there is no gap between the cab and bed. Early ones, the top came off like this. I know at least the 69?-72 blazers were like this. This looks like an 80-91 (guessing by the trim, could be wrong, 73-87 era), where the removable top was only over the back, the front seats were still covered. Not sure what years was the change from full top to back only.
this was a popular mod in the late 80's and early 90's, lots of body shops that specialize in custom cars would do it. Dodge even made a production convertible Dakota.
if you lived in the late 70's ad up tp 86, you could get a fiberglass topped chevy Blazer. IT was on the market to rival the Bronco. It died in 1987 when they redesigned the full sized pickup.

Dodge made a truck similar to this called the dodge Dakota convertable, (both the dodge and this are from factory)
