I got one for my 1970 2000 from M & T Manufacturing

M & T Manufacturing Support
support@mtmfg.com

There isn't a significant difference in bodies between our two cars, is
there?

The fit is left up to the buyer - hardware for twisties, posties, and snaps
was included; I needed to buy a punch (bought a two-size set at the
hardware store that is advertized for canvas work).

I took the metal bar out of my short tonneau cover for the rear fitting,
and then used a hammer and punch against a block of pine to make holes for
the fittings one at a time.  It was a rather tedious process, as I had to
fit the rear bar in place and then decide on where the other pieces would
go one at a time, marking the spot with chalk, and then removing the whole
cover each time to a workspace on the floor where I could do the punching.
The headrest pockets, in my case, made the refitting process quicker.  As I
added fastenings, it became easier to spread and pull the rest of the cover
until I had a pretty good fit.

I'm very happy with it, and they were fine folks to work with.

Best of luck!
