Repro 15cwt GS box cover

[Stewart Loy]

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?

Rope or springs and metal tabs for attaching to the box?

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.

I feel a warm breeze blowing here on your post, kinda like hot air or something....

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.

Jif,

Where is that truck and tarp now?

Dunno, but I can find out... it was living in Markham at the time, and IIRC the tarp was a $15 investment by the owner who scored it off someone who had no idea what he had...

Hi Stu:

Mine's an all steel bolt togther mounted on a Ford. I'll measure it up this weekend.

Based on production in Oct, my cash flow will have stabilsed so count me in.

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.
