Arctic Cab

Post by Wolfen »

Would the Artic Cab for a arctic cab for a wc51/2 fit a WC63? The seller wants $750.00 plus shipping.

I would say yes on the fit.
Same open cab on 51/52 & 62/63
Is it a hard or soft Artic cab ?
I once owned a soft/canvas Artic cab for my wc63.
If its a soft cab is it complete with doors, hinge brackets for cab body, 3 peice cab bow, and 2 bow corners, for the back of the cab.
The rare parts are the two cab bow brackets that mount on the floor behind the seats that support the bows at the right angle.

G ,Day GG . Yes it has the 2 doors .They are stowed on the top of the cab when not in use . The 3 piece cab rear bow is there ,but not the bracket that they go into . I did have the plan,s for them some time ago .But seem to have miss placed them . I got the 3 piece cab bow from VPW many years ago. It has the door latches on it . Ray

I may have a copy of the bracket plans also.
They were posted here on line a long time ago.
If you want I can look and see if I still have them.
I purchased CC door brackets from Midwest Mil for the bottom two door hinges on each door, can not remember what I did for the upper hinge.
I also install a piece of 2" rigidage foam insulation in the top storage compartment to help with the canvas roof sage, and weather proofing.
My old photo bucket account may have pictures.
I also took two old bow corners and mounted them to the floor behind the seats to act as the hard to come by bow bottom brackets, a mickey mouse method for sure but it worked.

If it's not complete, I'm not interested.
