The Turnip Truck

Body

The first thing you may notice is the canvas topper. I originally bought it from Canvas Specialties Co. in Fresno. Their canvas didn’t last very long so I replaced it four years ago. The replacement is the best the yacht awning shop in Costa Mesa, CA could buy. It is a thick vinyl with an impregnated cloth weave… and is a very custom fit. The top snaps into place and can be taken on and off with relative ease. It is see through front to back with a little window on the forward right side for the blind spot.

The truck was originally a light cream color and I painted it about five years ago. Paint is in good shape. Some spots have bubbles and needs to be retouched. It shines up nicely.

On the left, canvas tarp frame. Pull the canvas off and slide the ribs forward. Gives stand up room in the bed.
