    Can't answer the "best" price question but it was the best I found at the time and it fits and looks great. Also, usually in stock and will ship quick. Others talk about months of delays.

    I installed mine from surplus city last week and I am very pleased with it. Fit is great and seems to be well built.

    Yes, when I got it it did not fit as the canvas will shrink. I put it on as best I could and used heat lamps from the inside for a few hours and gradually stretched it. There is a thread here on the zone about this, from several guys.

    In the summer you can just lay it out in the sun. It just needs to warm up a bit. Does the canvas fit everywhere now? Thinking that the cut down would effect the door area. Not to mention if you have it on with the sun beating down on it it will loosen up and flap now that you lost that inch.

    I was expecting the worst (usually happens with me) that the top would be a bear to get on, but I stood in the cab, slid the top thru the rail (careful not to bind the material), threw it over the top and started buttoning. Surprise to me all the snaps were there on my truck.

    I did have the box sitting in the sun all warm like before I opened it. Wouldn't want to try that in the winter.
