My garage: Restored Old Henry, and have had this WC51 on the road around 3 years now... Currently finishing a brace of Ben Hur trailers, and starting a 67 Galaxie fastback. Concurrent with the WC I restored a 74 TR6... Oh the joys.

The covers are getting hard to find. Especially since all the Norwegian WC's had them removed when they installed the metal frame for the front tarp and the doors.

I found mine after looking for several years.

I'm sure they have been reproduced - Midwest Military?

Nope Gordon, not that I can see. He has a LOT of hard to get parts, but not these. I guess you either have to have a sweat shop somewhere hand make them with ball hammers, or make a die tool to press them out of sheet metal. :)

The elusive part in question:

The two I just put on my WC52 are reproduction, I think they came from Midwest Military. You might want to e-mail John and ask him about them.

Figures, John has sooo much more on his shelves than appear on the website and the catalog.
