0 Tony B Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 There are various winter cabs available for the WC range. Is that what you are after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 snowtracdave Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Try www.odcloth.com . They're in The States & can do most things canvas or webbing,extremely helpful and not unreasonably priced . Have a look at their website or drop them an e mail .

0 GoranWC51 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I can really recommend John & Mary Worthing in the UK: http://www.uscanvas.com/ Their canvas work is next to none and they've been making canvas for MV's for many years. Got the canvas for my Dodge WC51+seat covers+windshield cover, from them. The canvas of my Dodge is still strong after 20 years (!) albeit a bit faded in colour.

0 Degsy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I would recommend Allied Forces, 01454 261100, both partners, Jim and Martin are members on here, you will find them very helpful and the products are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tony B Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Don't bother with some of the cheap Indian made ones that seem to be appearing. The material is little better than bed sheest, and don't fit. I've been offred one for a Land Rover through a 'man in the pub'. That was enough to say No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 iolo777 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 ex French reserve, released 1984,done 20 miles since.Just had it up and running all sounds sweet.All pannels in good order, weather permitting, will be sandblasted and painted next week. Bought less rear body, but the dropside body will carry my restored GPW Jeep. Just need the truck cab canvas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nick Johns Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) , but the dropside body will carry my restored GPW Jeep. . If you want to carry your Jeep or any load on the Dodge it would have to be tested, its only MOT exempt as an historic class used unladen only, as discussed before numerous times on forum here, may be a problem testing the 6x6 because of its gross weight exceeds 3.5tons so would have to be plated and a commercial vehicle test Edited February 25, 2012 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
