[MV] Canvas and other GPW questions

Some thoughts came to me the other day regarding the canvas top for the
GPW and wondered why in the 6+ years I have been in the hobby I have
never read about anyone selling N.O.S. or even someone "tripping" over
one at a garage sale. I remember several years ago buying the passenger
side half door from Brian Asbury and never thought to inquire about tops.

Also, is there a separate wiring diagram for the radio filterette under
the dash on a 1943 GPW? My second body tub (June '43) had a "kit" also
mounted under the passenger side with a 3/4" pipe running parallel to the
dash and then disappearing under the Jeep floor. I have yet to see any
wiring diagram for this filterette as well. I do know I have seen these
(the last one discribed) N.O.S. at Willy's Minneapolis. Also, this past
Sunday I took my GPW runner out around one of our 10,000 lakes and while
driving with windshield down find a pick-up towing a trailer with the
just the cab of what looked to be either a CCKW or 1 1/2 ton Chevy. It
was painted orange and looked to be in reasonably solid condition. My
mind wandered for a moment and wondered if the vehicle I was driving ever
sat in the same motor pool with that truckand to think that after all
these years they would be back on the road. I hope I am not the only one
who wonders like this!?!

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Sincerely,

Wally Piroyan
1943 GPW
