FMTV LVAD soft top

[AlexS]

I own M1094 which is a LVAD dump truck and was thinking it would be cool if anyone made a soft top for the cab, like an M35. I looked all over the interwebs and nothing showed up. I figured if anyone did something like that this would be the place.
Thanks

There isn’t, but I sure had that on my to-do list. Plan was to cut the entire top section of the roof off, leaving the perimeter for a “framework“. Then just make or have made a top out of old cargo cover ( I have a bunch)

Yea that’s a good idea. I was more thinking kind of like a “Jeep” soft top where it encompasses the whole top minus the windshield and top of the doors. Maybe a boat cover specialist could accomplish such a feat.

Yeah, a sail and canvas shop can make a cover. You could use hardware from a number of sources.

I agree that the airdrop cab warrants this mod.

I was also contemplating this. Two “hoop” bows at the b and c pillars, and a “bikini” top that is basically a square piece of vinyl attached to the windshield and attached to the two bows.
