    I bought this cargo loader for 1/2 ton trucks at Harbor Freight, however it doesn’t fit.
    I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a brand that does fit our trucks?

    this one is too wide and I’m afraid if I cut the canvas it will just Frey on me and fail.
    TIA

    Any Good tarp repair shop I think would be glad to fix that for a few dollars .

    Just fold and glue to the size you need.

    That does not look like Canvas more like the new style tarp material.

    I wonder if the smaller vehicles have enough demand to market a product that size. Never looking just how hard did you search?

    Good luck.

    Tarp repair?? I never knew that was a thing. I don’t think we have those in NJ.

    Look around I bet you can find a place.

    Making new Tarps and repairing tarps can be a gold mine in the right place.

    All those covered wagons and tarped lumber loads need repaired .

    Check Rv places those fancy awnings need fixed now and then.

    Good Luck!

    personally for the 50 bucks you paid I would just cut it myself. melt the edges and reapply.
    not sure how it works but you could cut it around the wells, at least the front half before the wells.

    So I cut the fabric, installed the cargo unloaded, but then promptly broke the tailgate handle and cut myself. ‍♂️
