fastback style soft top
Ok, ive been web searchin this and havent had much luck. on my old 89 i had a fabric/interior shop make me a top that was simply one piece of top that covered the back, it declined from the roof straight to the top of the tailgate and snapped into place around the edge. since then the place has gone out of business and im not finding any place that will do the job. bottom line is i would like to find something CHEAP. any help would be SWEEET

I pretty much made my own. I think i spend about 20$ at most. I bought a black 8x10 tarp and just bolted it on using the factory holes, but found some standard bolts with the same thread pattern as the tamper proof bolts, to make putting it on/off a little quicker. I dont have it snapped/bolts onto the tailgate, just tied to either the ball hitch or tire carrier. An extra tarp hanging on the inside I just used a razor to cut it off. I actually have it on right now, I can upload some pictures tomorrow. It does hold water out but I mostly have it on when I come home for the night to keep anything/anyone out (out of side out of mind theory). I never cut out a rear window so obviously rear visibility is awefuln and need to rely on side mirrors if your going to drive around with it on.

Ha... that last photo is from the original K bar S catalogue. K bar S were the originators of the full framed soft top. You can still get them from JBG today. When K bar S went out of business, Kayline bought the rights to reproduce the tops. Kayline went the way of the Dodo and Specialty Top Corporation (STC) snagged the tooling and rights to continue to make them. I'm not sure who makes them for JBG these days but they updated the attachment of the frame to the bed otherwise, its pretty much the same product the guys at K bar S made back in the day.
