Yes. If 2" yellow nylon webbing is acceptable.

If remaking, pay attention to the UV resistance of whatever web you choose...

fyi:
Any local sewing shop can likely handle making/repairing webbing, but certainly any canvas shade or sail shop.
Keep in mind that the older stuff can get pretty stiff, so as far as repairs go ymmv.
All that is really needed a heavy duty sewing machine with a heavy-duty needle.
The trick to cutting it clean is to use a *really* hot blade (and don't pull on the webbing, just enough pressure to keep it tight). Again, a sailing or canvas place will also have a tool for clean cutting as well, but I always used a blade.
Nothing wrong with a used takeoff, though. As long as it's not be dipped "surplus gold" and sold for $500....

I would be interested in that strap.

@Reworked LMTV - You're first in line if you want the one from my rig. Otherwise it looks like at least 2 other people are on the hunt for one and I'd be happy to pass it along if you're pursuing an alternate option.
