Some of the best canvas for WWII/Korean era MVs come from patterns I have supplied.
The longer an MV stayed in the Army inventory, the more vendors took part in contracts.
Many of the later items produced have variations from the canvas availible when the MV left the factory.
Example, the M-38A1 had a 1/2 dozen variations, all different than the canvas the Jeep left the factory with. Same for the Ben Hur, MBT/M-100.

Some of the brackets used on the wood racks of the Ben Hur trailer and made by Ben Hur were cast?
