Picture of Carton Tag

Not much information exists for the Winter Kit (canvas).  I am looking for anything related to these mysterious tops for the Dodge WC series trucks.  If you have any information you may send it to robert@stampedout.net

I have discovered a small quantity of these tops and am offering them for sale.  I have pictures of the tops posted here.  I have the following only:

  • Top, Cab, Winter

  • Curtain, Side, RH

  • Curtain, Side, LH

I do not have any bows or hardware (other than what comes attached to the tops) available.  You will need to find those yourself.

  1. The part number of the Dodge Winter Top (canvas).  Shown as U.S.T.A.C. Dodge 1096066  If anyone knows any part numbers for other WWII canvas, please email them to me at robert@stampedout.net  I have found a large supply of WWII canvas tops and am having trouble identifying all of it.  Likewise, if you are interested in ORIGINAL WWII canvas, e-mail me and I will see what I can do.

  2. Inside view of the top spread out. 

  3. Outside view of the top spread out.

  4. Inside view of the top with the bow installed.  No doors on at this time.

  5. Inside view of door.  Notice the female 'lift-the-dot' fasteners.  They mate with the male ends on the top canvas.  There is also a flap that can fold over if you have a long box variation.

  6. Outside view of the door.  Notice the male hinge parts.  I do not know what the female hinge parts should look like, however it has been suggested that they look a bit like the command car hinges.

  7. View of the top upright, but not mounted on a truck.  The top sags in the middle because the windshield frame is not present to support it.

  8. View of the inside of the top.  The top is laying on it's top in this picture and you can see how it looks all assembled but up-side down.

  9. View of the top on it's front side.  Here you can see the back side of the top.  There is a window that matches up with the end curtain opening, but does anyone know what the small 'door' at the bottom was for?

  10. Passenger's side view of the top while it is laying on it's face. 

  11. View of the top of the top while it is laying on it's face.  Nothing much to see here, but it is important to note that the doors slide into a compartment in the top of the top when not in use.

  12. A ¾ view of the inside of the top while it is laying on it's top.  This gives you a better idea of the layout of the top.

  13. This is the wooden bow/frame that fits inside the Winter Kit (canvas).  You used to be able to get them from Vintage Power Wagons, but I heard that source dried up.

  14. This is a close-up of the door 'latch' on the top bow.

  15. This is another view of the door 'latch' and the part that holds the bow into a special bracket that was mounted on the front of the bed.

  16. This is what a NOS carton of tops looks like.  They are packaged 5 to a crate and banded together.  Nothing special, remember there was a war going on.

  17. This is a remnant of a paper bag that held???  I don't know what they stored in it.  There was only one top with this bag attached to it.  It was on the little flap on the back of the top. 

  18. One tag on a top that is handwritten and says ' Dodge 6X6 Cab Cover.'

  19. Another tag found on a different cab top.  This one reads 'Dodge 6X6 Cab Cover OK.'  You can see the coating they put on the top to help waterproof them.  It almost looks like paint.
