Hey there folks- just thought I’d put this out there in this forum. I have had no luck finding anyone who produces a full soft top for the LPB pickup- a couple shops have the full soft top for the LP and LV versions, but no joy for the LPB. Right now it has a soft top covering the bed only, attached to the back edge of the cab hardtop. Thanks for any and all help!

So it looks like a troopy, or a separate soft top for cab?
I've got this Pakistan made top and bows that I've never fully installed. Might be willing to part with it.
Super cool truck and even cooler top. PM'd you.....
Have you tried approaching a boat top/upholstery shop? Since you live in Nantucket I’d imagine there are several businesses up there that could help with all the boats around? Maybe they could even use your old bed topper as a pattern for the new one?

Believe me, I've tried! My local upholsterer retired, no one in this area is willing or capable to take on the job. All the boat shops sub contract out to companies that only do boats.
Bummer! Is the pic you posted of your truck it looks like it might be based on the license plate?
It blows my mind that we collectively as a group can’t find a single shop (upholstery or boat) in the US that has the skill set and follow thru to produce a high quality UV resistant canvas material soft tops?!?!?!? For the 25, 40, 43, 45 trucks.
There’s another thread with people discussing this issues with finding a quality canvas 40 soft top after Trollhole stopped making them. Then Julie aka Dirt Road Tops was making them but ultimately went on to defraud a bunch of people who either entirely paid for a top or made a deposit.

If I had one of the high quality 40, 43, 45 Canvas tops I would happily allow it to be used as a pattern for a reputable company to copy the design and start producing them for the LC community.

I found a shop in FL -The Relik Garage - https://relikgarage.com/ who makes the Troopy versions, but not for the 45LPB.
I’m pretty sure those are soft tops that are sourced from TROA?
