Default Canvas ?

What is Kevin doing for canvas ? I always liked the look of the short Winter tops on those 3/4 ton Dodges . There was a canvas kit issued that covered only the drivers area , it had canvas doors , known as the Winter top . I think it was late WW2 era . I spotted one on EPAY years ago , a NOS kit . Rather rare I would think .

This is what Im on about

sorry Robert I disagree as the major parts are there....the chassis, spare wheel mount and rear body. The rest is mainly the same as the more common LWB 353 GMC CCKW. Does he have the large behind cab fuel tank?

Default Wow!!!

If this one turns out even half as good as the Dodge, it will be fabulous.
