Canvas top prices?

This spring the metal top comes off. I have only seen 1 advertisement on line for the canvas tops. I know there more out there. What are the price ranges?

Shop around. There are three major suppliers for the tops, Beachwood Canvas, WeeBee Webbing, and New Life. New Life appears to be the only one that is offering a top with any options now. Beachwood offers a nice cheap vinyl alternative but it's a sort of glossy green that isn't quite OD but is a correct Mil-Spec vinyl.

If you talk to Beachwood, they can do options. But the options are cost prohibitive.

I've not dealt with WeeBee webbing... And, I used to live like 30 miles from Beachwood. I used them for all kinds of small parts on my 715, but when it came to the canvas top, I went with New Life and plan to do so again for the cargo cover.

I used Weebee Webbing when I bought all my canvas for the 715 and have been very happy with it. I got everything I needed from them, cab top, rear cargo cover, seat covers, pioneer straps. They had a pretty good turn around at that point, I believe it was 4-5 weeks for the stuff. Some of it even came quicker. I think the seat covers and strap sets came in, in about 2 weeks.

Thier website is http://www.odcloth.com/ Then go to the vehicle section and click on the 715 for all the pricing.

I know Rich (I think) at Beachwood told me he could do just about anything and would even do the M37 style tops but I think that a member recently reported that he wouldn't do it anymore. My vinyl top from Beachwood is top quality and I have no complaints about it at all.

John at Midwest Military has them listed online for 290.00. I got a good used one from him a while back,I think it was 100.00,not sure ,but it was in real good shape. He was temporarily out of new ones when I was there. I'm quite sure his came from Judith at New Life Resource,but she sold her business to a woman in Minn. ,call John he might have one,or for sure could get you in touch with the new Perons business.
