Cargo Cover Question

Post by k8icu »

In theory the bows and cornners on the M37 and the M101 trailer are the same yes? Therefor in theory the vinyl covers that were made for the M101 should work on the M37? Just trying to think of a way to have a vinyl cover for the cargo area with out spending an arm and a leg.

M37 and M101 corner bows are not the same. They will fit and work but not correct.

I may be wrong, but isn' the M37 bed about 6' long and the M-101 bed about 8'. Other than that it should be about right.

The M37 bed is "about" 77" long and the M-101 is "about" 97" The trailer cover is made different than the 37. It may fit but it would not fit right with the corners being wrong. Also the M-37 cargo bed bows are taller than the trailer bed bows. [img][img]http://inlinethumb34.webshots.com/44513/2283367740033746103S600x600Q85.jpg[/img][/img]

Been getting ready for our daughters wedding, on the beach in St. Pete. Other than that all is well, just waiting for warm weather to to start my projects.

"Waiting for warmn weather," Bill? What do you call "warm weather" in Ocala, FL?? We moved out of Illinois in November in order to get away from cold weather. I'm used to winther temps in the -25 to +25 degree range, so the 30 - 70 degree temps we've had this winter down here in GA qualify as "warm" to me. :?

I retired 20 years ago and moved south from the cold northeast. I would rather be to hot than to cold, thats what swimming pools are for. Our "cold weather" is not over till mid April, we are expecting mid 30 degrees at night this week, cold for us. I know all you snow bound guys feel sorry for me.
