Taller Cargo Covers

Here's another one of those oddball taller canvas tops with taller bows.

Twenty-plus years ago my local Guard unit was a Signal Corps outfit. Their deuces all had shelters in the back - and all were masked by overheight canvas cargo covers and bows.

Our maint section truck was always built up with wood to make a lockable shed. They did the same thing as in the pictures and took a canvas to the canvas shop and had them add in a few feet on each side. The then just draped it over the box to waterproof it. When I picked my truck up from DRMO it had taller bows. You can add about 6 inches or a foot by putting cut down pieces off wood in the stake pocket on the troop seats. I can't remember exact how far you can go but it basically take the canvas from over lapping many inches to barely overlapping. It usually gives just enough room so you can stand up if short.

Looks kind of cool, but then you'd need a garage with 14' sidewalls and 12' high doors to park it in. 12' sidewalls and 10' doors will fit most all other standard "M" series equipment, even a M816 wrecker.
