Hi,
Bought mine at New Life Canvas, very pleased. Ben Hur cover I got from Sid Beck (RIP) think he had it made.

Re: Wc52 and G518 canvas top
Welcome to the forum. nice truck! I met an old man driving mine around one day here in the US and he said when they landed somewhere in the Philippines the volcanic ash and rock was so deep nothing could get traction and that the Dodge 3/4 tons were the only thing that could make it off the beach.
my theory is thats why they put so much cable on the winches. to pull jeeps off the beach.

Do not know what the wait time is now, I ordered mine a few years ago.

New Life does very nice work. Lead times are long however. An alternate source would be Allied Forces Canvas in the UK. Jim purchases his materials in the US and does the cutting and sewing in the UK.

I used http://www.canvasco.com/ in the UK. Excellent work for a reasonable price
