No one makes them. They have all stopped or gone out of business. Ebay is your best chance. Thats where I got mine.

 

you and everyone else buddy.
your best best is to keep searching hi and low on every bronco site known to man. because nobody is making them anymore. once in a while you might get lucky on ebay. but be ready to shell out some big cash. cause they arent cheap even being used. good luck.

 

Did you try the search feature this great forum has? I would guess not. There is only 1 company making a POS (IMO) top for the Bronco's. All the rest have folded up.

Here is what a new one look's like installed.:goodfinge

Nice work Ranger...(better keep yr regular job though..:goodfinge)

 

I would love to have one too, but I was looking in a different direction, I wish there was a company that manufactured roll cages that you could weld in, then you could take it to a canvas shop, they do canvas tops for boats so making a top for a bronco would be a snap (no pun intended :rofl. I already had a local shop make me a canvas back panel with an oval plastic window to replace my back glass, it is sweet.

 

i talked to numerous distributers on the phone today, and you guys are right, they all pretty much said the same thing.

i was just hoping someone might have a lead as to where the one place in the u.s. may have a few in stock:toothless

i wonder how hard it would be , and how close you could get, the "1980 and up" top to fit with a few jimmy rig mods, if any.

i never compared side to side the rears.

 

Oh for the love of gawd.............

Can we re-name the site to nobroncosofttops.com? :toothless

Stumpy.... Best chance is e-bay or craigslist nationwide search. Be prepared to fork over a 1st born or a testicle(of your choice) if you want a Skyler.

 

Drill? That POS was retained by velcro till I hit 25MPH and the fawker blew off. I boxed that POS back up and sent it back to the azzhole that told me it would stay on up to 60MPH. Had to go thru a paypal dispute but I got my money back.

 

I thought about having an upholstery shop build one. A lot of them will build rag-tops for old convertible cars.

That might be an option if you can find the right guy and have the funds.

 

This thread is like an old episode of the twilight zone meets ground hog day.

SEARCH.

79Time gives the best advice. CUSTOM. Find a boat shop.

anyone have one made, if so, how much did it run you. seems like i've seen a lot of guys say go to a boat shop or whatever, but i haven't seen any price's of what they run. thanks

 

i looked into building them myself. but you pretty much have to do it like a real business . in order to buy supplies at wholesale and get good prices on the parts and you also have to buy it in a larger amount than what you need.
and getting the frame built is expensive to. every shop wants exact measure ments and a one time set up fee. i think 25 frames was gonna cost me $925.00 + shipping and if they didnt fit it was my own fault. then you got to buy canvas , zippers, windows ( cut to fit ) , straps, thread, snaps, etc.
then make patterns for the top so you can cut it out. then sew it all up .
and if it dont fit , take it apart and make adjustments until its right. then when its right you take it apart and make new pattern from that one. throw the old pattern and top in the trash and then start building them . its expensive and very time consuming. and the profit wouldnt be close enough to make you want to go through it all. then you got to hope you dont get taken to court for copyright laws from another co. that doesnt even make them anymore.
and back to the business part of it. the only way to purchase supplies at the lowest price you need a tax id number. which means uncle sam wants his share out of it. and a business id #.

 

that straight up sucks, no wonder all the businesses stopped making them, not enough customers to justify making them. guess i'lll just have to keep my eyes open and save up some cash, put the soft top dream on the back burner.

 

Try these guys

http://www.soft-tops.com call these guys and find out. If they make them for 80-96 I don't see why they won't make them for 78&79's

 

I guess I'll hold on to my old one then huh. I heard a rumor tho that someone bought stc and was gonna start re making them. But that was a while ago. I have an old one that needs new windows. guess I'll get that done.

 

If someone is willing to part with a testicle or something I have a brand new in the box STC black top with black tinted windows. I have never even taken it out of the box.

 

heck..I got a whole bag of pig testicles in the freezer right now. How many of 'em you want fer that top? :toothless

How much you asking for it ..really?

 

sure gonna have em chopped soon anyways lol

 

I would take a $1000 bucks for it, I never really even considered selling it till the tops couldn't be had anymore. I saw how many people probably wanted it more than even I did. It's all black with black tinted windows, never been out of the box, fits 78 - 79 Bronco. I realize this has become something that probably did not belong in this thread.

 

hey I offered a testicle which was the original asking price

 

He even offered one of his own testicles, that has got to trump some pig balls in the fridge.

 

opc1:

 

Yeah but Bill has probably got some big testicles. That oughta be worth a little more than a testicle.

 

You know, now that you can get prosthetic balls for everything including the family dog, a testicle just isn't the sacrifice it used to be.

 

:shocked:shocked

 

Know it's not the right forum though I just came across this softtop on craigslist and figured somebody here maybe interested.

For 50 bucks you could get someone to sew it back together. Be a good top for a wheeler.
