Just did some checking, and a company called Wheel to Wheel in Troy Mi.(Detroit area in any case) did the actual model and tooling work on the Hydrogen HUMMER. I don't know if they "own" the tooling or GM does,but if W2W owns the tools they may be able to sell parts out of them.

Did you ever try to contact the Hydrogen HUMMER people about theirs? They may be able to provide contact info for whoever made theirs.

I think, think mind you, that wheel to wheel inc is now combined or has something to do with the new tecstar-starcraft thing. tecstarinc.com and starcraft.com are both not working either.
Maybe, try again tomorrow.

It's probably Bestop who built it. Bestop is a division of Decoma International which is owned by Magna International. The slantback top wouldn't be very difficult for them to do based upon what they are doing with Jeep hardtops...

Ken, I would love to, but I have no contacts there. Or know who to even look for to contact.
I have contacted aftermarket companies, pick up truck cap companies, and a few custom shops out in Cali.

I was at the NY auto show on Tuesday and got a few close up pics of the slant back. I did speak with a rep and she confirmed that wheel to wheel DOES make the slant back for the SUT's.

dochummer-
I missed the sidestep discussion. I actually like that look. Anywone know if the sidesteps disconnect from the rock rails? I would actually go with that if they did. Thanks for the pic. I'll do a forum search for that sidestep thread.

This is the outfit that makes the H1 slantback kits:

Also, I've seen another H2SUT slantback besides this Hydrogen one. It was on a yellow H2 Sut that I saw in Durango last October. It makes me think that the photo of the slantback above is not a "one-off." </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
good to know there is more than one now. I called CGP about maing one for the SUT, and they said NO! Not enough market to bother.

my shop does custom work 99.9% of the time, so building the 2nd one & on is a peice of cake.
Next week I'm contacting my dealer about a loaner for a couple of days to make a mold

Before we all heard of Tec Star (who claims to have built the Slant Back on the H2H) I had called different Cap companies. Bestop was the first since they made the cap for the Avalanche.
they said they had no plans to make one for the SUT becasue lack of sales.
