Hi Jonnie:

Up to my armpits in work... will respond in detail tomorrow! Cheers! Mike

Just been given an old Window bag suitable for a pattern, but notice that the fiittings are not the 1/2 moon clip with the canvas loop fitted over it as in Hannos pic above(http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...&threadid=2214)
but a bit of flat bolted to the Cab one, end and to the canvas stiffening plate on the other (4 x). I have one cab 13 with the 1/2 moon brackets, one with the remains of the bolted peices.
Questions:
Would the difference be Ford vs Chev (although both cabs are Chev, changes have been made)
Late or early production?
Whoever the bags were jobbed out to?
This is the first bag I have actually seen, so was pretty impressed to be given it (Thanks David) and interestingly is the same "dog Turd" colour as described in an earlier post, so this may have been the standard?
What do y'all think

Hi people, yes i would like the measurements please,i know what it looks like etc,but doing this truck on a limited budget makes it hard to splash out and buy a ready made one.

Kenney,
If no one else has the measurments to hand I will endevour to measure it up in the near future.(I promise....honest)

A bag for window, I would take one as well.
Also would like to find you if a tarp for a C15A W is available somewere?

I would like the measurements too please. The clips look lonely in the cab, and the windows bang around when they are placed behind the seats.

Ok guys,
Had a quick go around with the tape, all measurments in inches.
Steel stiffener, 38x 7/8 x 1/8, with rounded ends and sewn into top back of canvas.
Main bag, 38 x 26 x 3 NB the bottom actually measured out at 37, not sure if this is shrinkage or supposed to be out of square.Bottom corners are square not angled or rounded.
Flap is 38 x 6 with 45deg. corners folded down to the seam at 2in.
Four press studs, 2 1/2 from the side (and from the satchel in the middle) 2 1/2 from the top.

Document satchel (Fits workshop manual) 11 1/2 x 9 x 1 1/2. Flap is two peices of 1 1/2 sewn to give a right angle. Two press studs 2 inch in from the side, 1/2 in. from the top

This bag has the bolted fixings, not the hang up loops. Assume that both variations had the steel strip to stiffen them.
Hope this helps, no scanner so don't ask for a drawing but any other measurments you need, fire away.

I did get a sample of an original bag.

I will have it reproduce and if you want to have one please let me know.

Does any one have the bleu print or the dimensions of the tarp for a C15A?

[James Baxter]

I am interested in having one as well, please.

Did anyone ever post measurements for these storage bags?

I'm hoping to get a bag made soon, if I can get enough accurate information for the upholstery guys. No point if it just turns out looking like a large green shopping bag.
