The Graveyard USED to be the place. Er um... nevermind... just checked this myself. Guess I'm out of the loop these days. Not sure what the deal is there.

Head to a boat upholstery place they can make you something. I personally like the
tonneu cover looking one if you don't have anyone ride in the rear seat alot then it
would be a way to go and hopefully it is not raining when they need to ride back
there!! I wish I knew a place that had a picture of one if you haven't seen one, It
basically is like a tonneu cover but it goes up all the way to the roof and follows the
lines of the truck.

There's also the one that slants down from the roof to the tailgate. It's $400, and the rail kit so you only have to drill into the tailgat is another $400. Google Ford Bronco Tonneau Cover. I forget the name of the company.

Might be soft-tops.com

My local guy says Skyler went out of business. If you go to their ordering page it says they anticipate selling Skyler. Anybody care to email them?

you wont find them anywhere, only the slanted style. if you go to fullsizebronco.com you will find one every now and again, but when you do see one act quickly, it wont last. ive been looking forever and finally one day i went on craigslist and went to every city and typed keyword soft top bronco, by luck i found a guy selling his bronc that also had the stc soft top (full) , i emailed him asking if he wanted to just sell the top, he wrote back "sure, im keeping the bronco, i bought the the top for my son and he used it for about a month before buying a new car for college , so i took it off and stored it in the garage years ago." it was like the rays of heaven shining down on me. lol i got it for 285 total with shipping, brand new it was 700 and was only used for a short period.........there is one on fullsizebronco.com but its a off white, not many people care for that. hope this helps you out and you enjoyed my story. happy holidays

offwhite would match mind only problem is my spare is inside the back, not on the tailagate so those skyler style units wouldnt fit(i like my tire there)

i remember seeing a site that converted broncos and blazers to trucks. it was basically a cab back that went behind the driver. I dont believe it was permanent either but i really cant remember the site.

Do a search on this topic...it has been talked about many times and as far as I know, no one makes a softtop for our Broncos. Companies have gone out of business or stopped making them. The only option is to make one yourself.

Here is another thread:
