I have a military M923 truck that I want to sell soon. This truck has
a heavy vinyl "soft top" for the cab, which is supposed to be attached
to a C shaped rubbery plastic strip that is used to hook it up to the
cab.
I have both the top and the strip. At some point, they were sewn
together, but the seam came apart. This is unsightly. I want to find
some shop that can sew such thick and hard stuff together.
Does someone know what sort of business I should look for in yellow
pages. I tried some searches and did not come up with much.
Seek an upholstery shop or auto upholstery shop, Ig. They'll have
walking-foot machines which can take thick, tough stuff.
Ditto a sail shop, but they'll probably want 3x the price for it,
unless you find one really needing extra work in the winter...
Alternatively, buy a used walking-foot machine and give it to your
wifey. Then help her do it. Remind her that she can make her own
convertible tops, drapes, and upholstery covers with it, too!
