    Default Canvas Top for cab - Who's cheapest?

    I was shocked when I went online and saw Beachwood's top at $395.00 plus shipping and tax for me since I am in New Jersey!

    Anyone make tops that are considerably cheaper than $400++? Thanks!

    Also, who makes reasonably priced canvas seat covers for the M715?

    I got all my canvas at Vintage Power Wagons....

    Top was $300 last year and the seat cover set (just the canvas) was $149

    They all fit well, look good and seem to be made very well. They were decent to deal with too over the phone. Don't bother e-mailing them though, they never reply.

    Forgot about them...their tops look really good too.

    Only thing with them is, figure on about a 3 month time for them to make the top and covers.

    VPW had them ready to go when I bought mine......if that is a factor.

    It depends on what time of the season it is when you order from them. In the busy season, they are backed up and it takes a bit. I ordered mine in the winter and had the top in 6 weeks and the seat covers in 2 weeks. Everything they do is made to order so it take time to build it. All my canvas and straps has come from them for my 715 and has been top notch quality.

    I will probably use them for my Deuce canvas. I need seat covers pretty badly....

    Default Surplus City Jeep on Ebay

    I got a new top on Ebay from Surplus City Jeep parts for $265. Nice new top made to military specification and test fit at the factory. Got it and it went right on with no problems. They have them listed 'buy it now' for same price presently on Ebay. I would insert a hyperlink, but I don't know how, but web address below:

    Default Surplus City

    As mentioned, the top from Surplus City Jeeps is in stock and well made. They cut me a deal when I bought seat covers and a top all at the same time.
