M211, M135 troop canvas and bows

[jdmcm]

Does anyone actually make repro canvas and bows for the M211 or M135, or do I have to have them made? I am new here, but I browsed this section and all i saw were people who had canvas made...my apologies if I missed something, it is probably an old question.

I am 75% sure M211 is the same as m35 (in terms of the bed, bows, canvas, etc.) and in that case, the usual canvas dealers like www.odcloth.com and eBay.

Last week I am pretty sure I saw an NOS bed canvas with NOS end curtains......(eBay)

The M135 bed is 8" narrower so if you make the side posts 4" taller you can use the stock M35 canvas. But double check I have seen a 135 with the wider bed.

I need a set for the M211, the same as the M35, legs ,bows and top vinyl or canvas.

M35 is 96" wide, M135 is 80" wide.

I stand corrected. I think I meant to say Approx. 90but either way I was wrong on the m135.88" it is!

My M135 has the narrow bed. If I make the posts 4" taller, what about the fit of the front and rear curtains? It would seem that they would be four inches higher, front and rear, and leave a gap? Or does the curtain merely get fitted four inches lower at the top, still shedding water?

Enquiring minds want to know.

RE: canvas

I when I went to sell my M211 I took the bows troop seat canvas etc which I had gotten off an M35 and transfered them to my new M35. So yeah they are the same.

Its the cab top that is a different animal.

RE: canvas

I have my 1952 M135 to the point that I need the dimensions for the wood portions for the bow assemblies. I need the profile of the vertical pieces (height, width, and thickness of both the vertical and horizontal pieces). Length deminsions should include wheather they are total length of the wood, or just what shows.

I have the metal bow corners and will get the wood cut to order. Does anyone know what the bow angle or radius of the curve?

Great forum - Thanks for your help...
