Any suggestions for a Westfalia style kit to put on aluminum utility truck topper?

[IDFYF8]

Yes, I've searched and all I find is replacement parts for the Westy (which I have and love) or a company in Boulder, CO called soft topper.

I love my Westy, but want to put a similar top on my 8' aluminum utility truck topper that sits on my 02 Ford Superduty.

Help a newby out?

I've thought of doing similar idea's, fitting westy tops to other applications. My best idea would be to design a shell that uses available westy parts (canvas, lift bars), and will fit your application. Matbe you could track one down then modify it to fit a flat surface instead of the curve of the VW.

I think you'll need to go through Sportsmobile to get what you're after. There is another company in Colorado (name escapes me...you'll have to search) which is new and claims to be able to do various pop-top modifications. I don't have any experience with them nor have I read any endorsements of them.

Several people in Germany build tops like that from scratch, using aluminum sheets.
