Some guy on the list has something called MILDEW or MILDOCTORS or something
like that. There you can look up the 209-10 or 361-10 manuals and in there
it explains how to put tops and things on the truck....
    Someone out there will probably know the name of the web site.

Subject: [MV] Proper Way to Lash 2-1/2 and 5 Ton Cargo Covers and End
Curtains?

Hello All...

OK, I'm putting the cargo cover back on the deuce for a re-enactment
next weekend, and I am not happy with the way I had the end curtains
lashed last time.

Also, I am concerned about front support when the cover is in
rolled-up mode.

Does anyone know where the official info is for:

  o Lashing or attaching the end curtains to the front and rear bows
(these are the separate style end flaps)?

  o The proper way to secure the front and back of the cargo top when
the top is rolled up on the sides (with the straps on the bows up and
over the rolled up sides and fastened to the top spring clamp
buckles)?

I notice when I roll up the sides, there is not much support at the
front of the cover, and I'm always afraid the top will lift up in the
wind.

Thank you in advance for the info!
