I'm looking for the winter cover kit for the front of the nose, and also Camo insulated cab and bed canvases.

I'd need a full "kit" for the cab, that would include the bows. Will part-trade for some extras I have, like a hard top, and green vinyl bed canvas, or some of the turbo equipment I have been working on when time permits.

Likewise, is there any info on a good electric element heater for the cab and personnel areas in the Deuces or 5-tonners? When I was in the Marines, we'd just freeze ass and be done with it in the morning, but now that I can use comfort devices, it would be a lot nicer!

Also - anyone local have a good line on chains?

I bought the grille cover pretty cheaply from George at Vermont Commercial Salvage, vtcsm37@aol.com. He has tons of M35 stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if he had the complete arctic kit. Also bought wheel bearings from him and just bought a complete subdued bridge plate set NIB for $18.

I recently picked up a brand new "woodland" camo cab cover. It's a heavy vinyl material with a black mesh lining.
If this sounds like what you need, let me know. I could take some pictures.
I'm looking for a good CANVAS cargo bed cover for my '52 Stude deuce.

I could use one of those insulated camo cab covers. We already had 8" of snow this week. Even with the so called "personnel heater" on high, I still freeze my a** off if the temp gets below 40F or so. Any idea of where to locate a REASONABLY priced 3 color camo insulated cab cover? All I have seen are several hundred bucks, out of my budget range at the present time. The wife ran up about $56,000 in medical bills so far this year, so I am suffering from the common Italian disease known as "fundsalow"!
