http://www.softopper.com is located in Boulder, CO. They don't currently make anything, but I was wondering if there might be interest in such a product? If anyone here was interested, it might make it easier for me to pitch it to them to produce a topper. I think I'd like to have one, as they are small and lightweight, yet can still cover the bed easily.

I have one of these on my "other" ride and it works very well. The only problem is I don't think the bed design of a Brat lends itself very well to the way it's secured. It uses C-clamps to secure a square, flat tube to the bedrail. This tube is what holds the snaps and hinge pin in place.

 

I can take pictures if anybody's interested. Provided I won't get banned for posting pictures of an F-250 Ford on USMB

Well, it was very much shot down anyways...

 

We don't do any custom work or 1 offs.

 

We wouldn't make one unless we thought there was a reasonable size market and as the Brat is a older vehicle..we wouldn't expect to sell too many.

 

Sorry.

Im thinking of makin a setup similar to something I saw a few years ago in one of the Off-road magazines, I think it was called a Camelback or something, it was a light-wieght stationary steel or aluminum framework with a canvas covering, just like the military rigs. You can roll up the sides, take the canvas off and use the frame as a rack, whatever. I'd have to do something like that to work with my exhaust stacks.

I was looking at that and I see why you want one! that's pretty cool

 

measure a ridgeline bed.... it looks to be shaped similarly

 

you could make your own mount points if you find something they make that's a close fit.

I would go to a marine canvas shop. They make custom soft toppers all day long for boats. They can put in windows, zippers, vents, snaps, etc.
