WOW, what happened to the earlier post? All the links disappeared.

Do an advanced search for "soft top" in the CUCV forum and you will find quite a few threads talking about fabric tops for the M1009. The pickups don't have them unless you cut the cab off.

Here is a cool top for the M1009

Are you looking for a cab or cargo cover?

Sorry for the confusion on my part.

Are you asking for the cab or for the bed?

If for the Bed, yes there is a cargo cover and frame for the bed. Alot of guys have thrown them away. The TM 9-2320-289-20P shows all the parts. Starting at Figure 195, page 423

The original poster deleted the entire post and started a new one. Guess he didn't like the responses. I'll withhold mine.

They had cargo covers for the trucks. It used a folding frame similar to what a Jeep would use. The top had reinforced holes around the perimeter and they went over the stud type fastener with a rotating top end that keeps the top on. You can roll up the sides. It is like a nice little greenhouse when you ride in them during the summer.
