I was thinking of buying a new M38A1 canvas top from one of the vendors we see and wondered if it would smell good , like A hot duce cab on a sunny afternoon , or just look new and smell new. I have a new canvas duce top I hate too cut up to fit for a jeep,has anyone been there done that. I wanted the top to look like canvas and smell like canvas . Thanks 4 your info Dan...

If you get one from New Life Canvas or WeeBee Webbing, it will look, feel, and smell just like the original. You'll love it. The wife/gf will probably hate it, but that's too bad. I can't stand Chanel No 5, myself! :twisted:

That is how the Bride got me......she saw my gun collection and switched from Chanel No.5 to Hoppes No.9. I did not stand a chance!

Thanks Lifer, I was not sure what I was getting into. What is your opinion on this idea,1.should I pay a man to make a jeep top at his shop out of cutting up a like new canvas from a deuce , or 2 , call the folks and get the top ,sidecovers, then doors and frames . I don't know the cost difference yet plus frieght ,and #3 how much is the deuce cover new old style worth to sell to cover the all of the above investment .Your opinion and others is appreaciated. Thanks ,,SGT FROST p.s I got the top RIGHT:wink:

I'd recommend contacting one of the repro suppliers (your choice) and ordering it from them. They will be guaranteed to fit (made to milspec). I would definately NOT cut up any deuce canvas! There are plenty of deuce owners who would be glad to buy it from you.
