    Top kit recommendation

    Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get a good top material kit for a 30 closed cab pickup? Mainly wondering if some kits are better than others or do they all pretty much come from the same source. All the top wood is new and ready for the covering. Thanks for any info.

    I suspect they are all similar. Remember that a pickup does not get chicken wire under the material. Black duck cloth goes over the bows, then cotton padding, then the roof material.

        Thanks for the reminder, I knew that but had forgotten about it. I do want to do it properly.

            Good morning. Not all top kits come from the same place. We make them here in my shop. Feel free to call or email me to place your order. You can view my work at www.classtiqueupholstery.com

                Do yourself a favour and call Mike as suggested above. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago at Hershey and he is a real class guy. None better. Good luck. Jim.
