Stewart, just a sidenote here. I used 1" black gas pipe to make my bows for my 12 cab a few years back. I used an electrical bending hickey and a strong friend to help bend them up. If you have access to one of the power driven hickeys, even better.

Tarp for 15 cwt
Hi Stu:
When are you going to production- cash flow drives the question! Rope or springs and metal tabs for attaching to the box?  Mike

Perhaps you should clarify a few things here. First off, what model GS box are we talking about? They aren't all the same size. Next, there's two styles of covers, a flat one with no bows and a tall one with the bows. Each model of box seems to have different bows too. Just something to think about.

Production Schedule
Mike,
I suspect that once I get the tarp and fiddle with it a bit it will likely be mid-October. I am trying to get a slow period in the canvas makers schedule to see if that helps out the cause. The box cover sample has ropes on the outside perimeter, and some canvas straps inside. Here is a picture of what it will likely look like. My box measures 82.5 inches long by 78.38 inches long, all welded. Can I get a sampling of sizes of other boxes? Are the Ford one the same, or will the Chevy guys be the only ones with new tarps?

Does Beachville have hydro now???
Where the hell is it anyway?? I wouldn't listen to Chris V about his electric hickey. They have long, cold winters where he is. Simundson (who else)

Colour...
I don't know if there were colour variations, but the tan tarp shown on the 15cwt in the MLU pages is original, war-dated with C-broad arrow... the only thing with that one was that the windows had been sewn over, but the space for them is still there for measurement purposes.

We don't need no stinkin' hydro ...
Peter,
This vital canvas work will be done in Tillsonburg. I know, I know - your back still aches when you hear that word ( Sorry to all of the 'Stompin' Tom fans out there ).  I just bought a new snowblower - so I suspect that it will not snow a millimeter this winter around here! Are we still on for an OMVA get together in Kingston in early October? I was T-16ing at a Legion park dedication in Bayfield on the day of the summer show, and missed you. Stewart Quote:
