Are these not the footman loops to fit the canvas top cover?

Hi Hanno, the fittings I'm looking at are the male studs on the top edges of the body tub. The photos I've seen with these fittings all show them in the same positions suggesting it is a standard made enclosure rather than a field mod. The studs are approx half inch on the flat part of the body and 3/4 inch on the curves.

Over on http://www.gaf.zeelandnet.nl a Dutchman is offerering a French text book about the restauration of a slat grille Willys MB. Reportedly, this book contains 140 pages with pictures and information on all the unique parts and details of Canadian contract jeeps.

Anyone seen this book?

No Hanno, I haven't seen this, but a French text wouldn't help me much!

It will be interesting to see how comprehensive it is.
