Top half cover

[Madgyver]

Remember these covers?
The SaddleUp guy?

Who else makes these?
This is the old Saddleup half top cover. Many years old.
I was fortunate to get my order delivered unlike others who paid. I'd like to get another similiar to it.
Local upholstery guy quoted me $$$ to copy it using expensive heavier Sunbrella fabric. He builds canopies for local boats and stuff.

Sorry, can't help you, but I'm glad SaddleUp is history on this site!

I can't tell what the material is from the picture, if it isn't really heavy maybe check with a seamstress or someone who does clothes alterations.
Or buy a decent sewing machine and make your own. Singer makes heavy duty machines that you can sew pretty thick materials with. My wife has one that I have sewn thick materials and leather with.

Speaking of tops Mad… I remember the old mass buy escapades on the Can-bak top. It sure was a sweet soft top, and I remember Chuck putting in a ton of work to make that product more robust for the Bronco!
Aren‘t you running that top on your yellow rig? How‘s it holding up?
I ended up organizing a mass buy with Windrock 4x4 on the Bestop, which still looks brand new since it sits in my garage nearly 24/7.

I have 3 industrial type singer machines, one is a cut and surging machine all from my parents. They are not set-up to use right now, in storage. I have made several heavy duty fishing backpacks out of sail materials over 20 years ago.

I have new skins from BCB. Not going to install them yet till I redo the bronco. I also have a White Bestop supertop in storage still new.
My original BCB top is old and fading. side windows and rear windows are done and thrown out. So I'm running it now with just the top skin. Frame has some rust spot that I can repair before the new skins go on. Or I got a Full Glass top from Cory at Bronco Design to use.
ADHD kicking in.

Bestop may have something for a heep that will fit but then you get into the whole cross dressing thing.

Or buy a full cover for a Bronco or similar suv and cut it down.

might want to find a specific boat canopy shop if you have one in your area, not an upholstery shop. My local boat canopy shop is modifying my Bestop middle support bow and cutting the fabric down. I needed a better fabric fit after welding in the family cage extension to the roll bar and need to cut down the middle bow so that it will fit into my garage without rubbing the upper garage door opening. Much cheaper than the upholstery shop quote and the upholstery guy actually recommended the boat canopy place.

I got mine off Ebay, it is nice. Not sure if it is the same guy with a bad reputation now days. His Ebay username is https://www.ebay.com/str/diamondplatewholesellerseb6677

Here is a newer 2 door Bronco for $37. Might work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4FG115R/?tag=classicbroncos-20

The last one I bought (just seen it in the attic) came from Americaneb66-77.com. I just now tried to go to their site but get the "can't find this page".

For that price I'd try it. Anyone could measure their top of a newer bronco, 2 door and a 4 door?

I'd like to know what will fit on a 66-77 bronco.
The wrangler soft top option looks better with no side mirror pockets.

Thinking about producing trail covers...

Hey All- A number of people have been bugging me about producing a variant of the "saddle up" trail cover that blew up a few years back. Carl Bradley called me the other day to say he'd acquired a new-in-the-bag cover with a bronco purchase he made and is sending it for me to examine. We will...

Well since you are not using it, any chance you want to sale it? I do not even know why I bother putting a cover on this one other than I hate trail riding with a wet seat. Lol

 

[bronco italiano]

Has anyone moved this forward?
-If not, I may have a contact I can check to see if he is willing to make 10-20 at a time full top and half cab covers.
-Is anyone against this?

 

[Speedrdr]

I certainly like the thought of the ability to cover the half cab once it’s rolling. I’m pretty sure my wife AIN’T gonna park her new ride out in the weather. Lol

 

[JSBX]

I would be interested in one for a half cab.

 

[bronco italiano]

What would the half cab cover need to look like?
Just the cab and doors or extend to the tailgate?
Feel free to post a picture.
Once we hammer down a style I will contact my upholstery person
