Very cool. I keep eyeing my Willys and Bantam trailers trying to figure a way to make them into some sort of camping trailers....preferably without permanently disfiguring them. It may be easier to just go with another trailer altogether so I can chop it up guilt free.

I don't know if anyone remembers, but in 2011, I built a matching trailer for my '53.


I really like that top.  that's what I'm wanting to get for mine for winter.  do you know what that style is called, or where I can get one?  thanks.

It's the original style 7 piece top. I usually keep the half cab roof on all year. It is a real pain to take it off.

Does anyone find it very difficult to get in touch with new life canvas? I think I have called a dozen times and left messages but no response. Are they still in business?

You Wouldn't believe it! I just talked to Mona! Yeaaaa.....she has been out for a while recovering from a car accident. I should have tried to call before I wrote the message.

She is back in full swing - looks like they do a nice job on the 7 pc. top.
