Does it have buckles or straps along the front edge? It would be easier to help if we had a picture of this thing laying out. Another wild guess would be a cab cover for an M16 Halftrack.
Just a guess. Only thing I can think of with an open cab that was wider than a deuce cab at that time. I mean, maybe the Ford 8x8 trucks but I'm not sure they were a thing yet in 1962.
