One thing that happens in the upholstery business too often is people don't scale up the pattern they have to allow for shrinkage. Waxed canvas will shrink 3 to 6 percent. You need to make the new that much larger. (Origin of the old saw. Never put a new patch on an old item.)

I may know where there is one, I'll look next week when they are open. I could make one, but it won't be cost-effective.

Do it on a sunny day. Someone may have have taken it off wet and it shrunk.

Those are different than the ones on the truck I will be taking pictures of. The rear is a piece of sheetmetal bolted to the stake pocket with a hole for the end of the pipe. The pipe is flush with the tailgate. I'll post them this weekend.

I can shoot some tomorrow if no one puts one up first.

Just remember to remove the canvas before transport. It won't survive a 75mph trip across the state.

Looks like it sold for 5k. Http://m.ebay.com/itm/Dodge-M37-truck-with-S-318-radio-shelter-/132046794571?nav=SEARCH

I've seen that Willy's around. Wasn't it 4 Wheelers a week or so ago? You didn't check out the M37 in Las Vegas with the Como bunker on it? That was a bargain price for that truck.

I had an issue where mine was getting harder to steer and then got to where I couldn't park it due to stiffness. I dismantled EVERYTHING and inspected it all. Found nothing worn or out of spec, just old caked up grease. Cleaned it all, put it back together and lubed it and it is back to normal...

Why can I no longer edit my posts? Mistyped something with this stupidphone and can't correct it.

I'll take that Prince of Darkness Limey Leaker off your hands so you can concentrate on your truck.

Was a great weekend. A lot of very cool equipment, nice people and a good swap meet. My wallet is lighter, my truck bed is heavier.

Just a bump to remind. It is this weekend and the weather looks to be cooperating.

The rust isn't an issue. It is in Arizona. So long as he keeps it in a garage so the occasional sprinkle doesn't touch it, it should last. There is noticeable aging to the plastics and rubber. But the owner wasn't going to do anything to "restore" that as this is an original car. You can restore...

Here is the MP K car.

I'll get pics of the K car at our show in two weeks if he shows again. It was unrestored original with all equipment.

I've seen one CJ6 that was used by the Air Force as a flight line crew vehicle because of the longer wheelbase. So, I wouldn't be surprised by a CJ5 that was military owned. After all, they used K-Cars for Military Police!

a 1970 Ford F250 wheelbase is within an inch. Might be a lot easier body swap.

As far as I know, on the E trucks, it is a spacer, upper insulator, lower insulator and nut/bolt. Is yours different?
