Canvas Side Flaps on Rubberized vinyl Cargo Cover. What's the purpose?

wvhillbilly · Aug 26, 2009

What are canvas sections on the bottom of my rubberized cover for? They are about 2 feet wide and run the entire length and width of my cover. Currently I have them tucked up under the cover between it and the troop seats. My cover is the rubberized vinyl with the rubber rope attached. Any help appreciated. :?:

High back truck, for maint support.

As gunboy says, made for a truck with taller staves.

Thank u friends, my assumption was correct. To me, this makes this cover more versatile as this truck is used forr camping, hunting, etc., as well as showing and parading. Should I remove this canvas for historical correctness..... :roll:

I'd get another and keep that one for when you want it.

I have a couple , one is vinyl to canvas and the other is vinyl to vinyl. Mine was a POL trailer

That is historical correct, the Military did that to your MV at some point. Unless you want it factory correct.

I second just buying a second one. use the shorter one for regular use and the taller one for camping.

No need for two covers.
Working on mine, adjustable staves,
low position for driving normal use, with extension tucked up under.
and "raise the roof" for camping or hauling stuff. :idea:

I have a vinyl canvas that I just acquired. I opened it up and spread it out and found that some of the seams are coming apart. What kind of adhesive would be good to reattach the seams with? I was also wondering where I could get some of the rubber rope so I can secure it. Thanks.

I'm not sure on the seams but search "super rope" on ebay and you will find the bungee cord you need.
