I can vouch for New Life Resource for canvas. They were economical and
quick.
Sounds like you have a fun project! You don't see many M715's at meets and
it would be nice to see more.
Regards,
Glen

Here are some places to start for parts:
http://www.saturnsurplus.com/ (has cab hardware and tons of other parts)
http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZablinninc (A.B. Linn has lots of
parts too) New Life Resources 802-827-6124 e-mail nlrm@together.net (makes
excellent canvas tops) http://www.owens-export.com/ http://www.flmv.net/
http://www.m715kaiserjeep.com/ http://www.odcloth.com/m715.html
http://www.mvpc.com/ http://www.owens-export.com/ As far as the tailgate
goes, you'll probably have to take what you can find. I found a rusted out
bent and banged up one for my M715. I have no gripes with the 230 tornado,
but it difficult to find part for.
Have fun
