The guy who made mine in 1973 made it in about an hour start to finish and installed the snaps on the truck in about fifteen minutes. Bobby Richards of Waco, Tx.
Meaning that it shouldn't take a skilled trimmer all that long to stitch one up. If you have fresh enamel type paint be real careful about covering up the fenders and running boards when they drill the sides of the bed for the snaps as the drill shavings will burn into the paint on top of the fenders.
There may be someone selling them but I don't ever remember seeing an add.
