CUCV cargo cover

[ODdave]

Ok, I am familiar with the usual places to look for M35 & 5 ton parts, Generator parts & trailer parts. But Where the HeII do you find CUCV accesories? I.E. the cargo cover and bows for a 1008?
Bows are not a huge deal as i can make them but where the heck can i get a cover? How close are the 880 covers?
Thanks to a fellow member I got a very nice set of troop seats and would love to find this stuff to complete the setup. Any help would be great.

From what i have been told the M880 ones work but are very tight. (again this is what I heard)

I have an extra set of bows and mounts I'd be willing to sell but shipping them would be LARGE.

I got my cover brand spanking new from chief 919 he usually has lots of cucv stuff. I got my troop seat and cargo racks ect from him, he is very helpful.

I put a wanted ad in the classifieds section on this site. That's how I got my top bows, etc.

I was using a 880 cover on mine for a while, I can confirm that it does fit, I picked up a good condition cover from my local volunteer fire department, check your local VFD's they have always been a good source of parts for me.

I don't know of any vendors carrying them.

You must have got the one I was after when I had my add in the classifieds a while back.....

Use Search Tempest ( or similar) to search Craig's List. Took me about a month to find a new old stock cover and good set of bows for $150.00. I had to drive a little over 100 miles but no shipping.

I think muttparts.com had them.

On CL / ST every day..... I will keep my hopes up

I have a new M1008 cover that I will sell for $100 plus shipping.

Got almost everything, Is there any sorces for the end straps? How about the rails that go around the bed that the cover hooks to?

I just got done fitting sort of a conglomeration of parts onto my M882 to get a cover on it. CUCV seats, M880 bow tops, CUCV bow bottoms, some CUCV and some M880 side rails... Still have to make the last one for the back but it's mostly there.

On the sides, I wouldn't even pay the shipping on those if someone wanted to give them to you, there's just not that much to them. Go get some angle iron, some of the little turny fastners lay it out and stick it all together.

a friend of mine is looking for the rails as well....his truck is missing them.......thanks
