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!

If only they were walking-foot, I'd come down and buy one, Gunner.
