Tarp for deuce

[Hell On Wheels]

How much should I pay for a NOS deuce tarp green inside and camo outside?

 

[gimpyrobb]

$250-400.

What's a deuce trap?

 

[ATPTac]

$250-400.

Is that what they're going for? Most of the ones I've seen are $700+ for vinyl three color.

Truth be told, I haven't been paying attention to what they go for recently. I put hemtt bows on my deuce and use LMTV covers. They are taller than a deuce cover and cheaper too.

Thanks for the info. I might be getting a good price for a few. Ill should find out tomorrow.

Whats a good price for an actual canvas OD green tarp? No bows just the tarp.

Would you mind posting a couple of pictures of this setup? Taller tarp would be good for my back!

Let me see what I can find...

The one dealer wants 600 for just the top (no end curtains). Think it was New Life Canvas.

This is the LMTV kit installed. Matt used the LMTV bows for his install. I have pics of mine here somewhere. I'm pretty sure ClintoGF has complete tan tops available soon (for a great price).

Now you've got me wanting to do that... I'm 6'5, so getting in and out of the bed with the bows and cover on usually ends up with me hitting my head at least twice every time .

 

[gimpyrobb]

AT 6'5 you'll still hit your head, but it won't happen as much.

 

[ATPTac]

Yeah, I figured as much. But having the ability to at least somewhat fit without practically crawling around would be nice.

 

[gimpyrobb]

It certainly is nice. I doubt I'll go back.

Not trying to high jack the thread but I have to ask how do manage driving your deuce? I'm 6'3 and I have a **** of a time getting to the clutch.

Honestly the biggest issue I have is the steering wheel. No real problems with the clutch, I do feel like I'm more pushing straight down on it versus pushing it in at an angle. If I'm out driving it in traffic for a while my leg gets a little shaky because of the weird angle and having to hold it for extended periods of time.

Where is your issue with it? Dash clearance? Because I'm definitely close to the dash, sometimes I'll rub it with my knee.

I also am 6'3 and my knee hits the window handle! And if I move to miss it, then I hit the steering wheel!!

Now I will say that my knee is constantly resting on the window crank when not manipulating the clutch. To be honest, I've never really paid attention to what's going on when I'm using the clutch... I'll pay attention next time I'm out driving it and report back in.
