    How to mount tarp on M101

    Ok. I got the tarp on, and it is just a little too short in the rear. Also, it was made by Allen Industries, oct. 1953.

    How to mount tarp on M101

    Thanks. That actually helps a lot. I need to figure out how to stretch it out all by myself now. It is very thick canvas, and probably around 100 pounds.

    How to mount tarp on M101

    When I picked up my M101, I was offered a canvas top for an extra $150, and it was in extremely good condition, so I bought it. Unfortunately it is just a tarp, and not the fitted top. I was wondering if anybody has any information on how to properly attach a tarp over the bows, and fold the...

    Is this a M101, or a M101A1?

    The only data plate was on the bed, and I temporarily removed it so that I could wire brush the loose paint around it. I will eventually get this sand blasted, and spray it with enamel. this was just a rattle can job to cover up the very bad latex paint job that was done on it at some point...

The bolts are 1/2"x2" I plan on using wingnuts, but that's all I can get locally. Next, is longer chains on the tailgate, so that when...

    Is this a M101, or a M101A1?

    I recently won a trailer on GL, and the data plate lists it as a 1962 case master M101a1, but according to the research I have done, it should be a M101, because it has the parking brake levers parallel to the box. I have painted it flat black, and had to replace the bearings on the left...
