I went with a non standard top on mine.
The local boat cover place made mine, Len and Tony's. It is the same material as the boat covers and comes in a number of colors.
You may have seen the pics under SN 2524 on the Bantam T3-C site.

Roger,
Great job on the structure!

I just found out about this message board. I guess I've been out of touch. Anyway, here are some photos of my updated version of the Bantam "covered wagon" canvas. I wanted the look/feel of the original but at the time I was restoring my trailer (admittedly a "resto-mod") I couldn't find anyone who could/would steam bend oak for original style bows. Also, I wanted something that would fit tightly enough to not puddle in the rain, handle freeway speeds without flapping, and seal tightly enough to keep out trail dust. I also needed a framework with open sides so that I could access gear. My top was made by the original owner of Can-Back shortly before he sold the company to the new owners (who relocated the company from Azusa Ca to AZ). I'm told that Can-Back's top for a Tacoma shortbed will fit a Bantam with minor modifications. Mine was custom fitted to my trailer.
