Eric, where are you getting the canvas? I need some. I have one I can get measurements for you. I guess you need ALL of them huh?

gimp,
I just saw some canvas tarps over at orshelin's (sp?) in Lawrenceburg. They were heavy od green, and they smelled good (bad) too. I'll be over that way on Friday if you want me to check on prices/sizes.

YES. Thanks.
Re: RE: M35 canvas top dimensions... anyone?
Not asking for too much am I? I hand-made one for my 1947 CJ2A so a small top for the M35 won't break a sweat.
Haven't found a canvas supplier yet....
Yep... a MS paint drawing would be great with dimensionds....gimpyrobb said:

Gimp,
Here is the info on the military looking tarps I saw at Orschlens in L’berg:
Made in USA Chicago Dropcloth and Tarpaulin Co.
10 oz. Outdoor Use Only
Water Resistant, Grommet every 2 ft., Triple thick hems, Double stitched hem and seams
5x7 = $14.99
6x8 = $19.99
8x10 = $32.99
8x12 = $42.99
10x12 = $54.99
10x14 = $64.99
10x16 = $69.99
12x20 = $99.95
They smell like military canvas. Not sure about the thickness. The label says 10oz. I’m not sure what weight the real cab and cargo cover canvas should be. Anyone know??
(BTW, You might want to contact some of the reproduction canvas product suppliers (i.e.: WeeBee Webbing, Beechwood Canvas, New Life Resource, . . . etc.), I seem to remember that others here have purchased stock canvas by the yard in the past.)

Very cool! With canvas available (relatively) cheaply, and a girlfriend that likes to "sew", I see a great way to combine her hobby with MVs!

If your area has some lakes for sailboats you could check to see where they get their canvas from. It's made to take heavy use. Wayne
