I JUST GOT A NEW TOP FROM WEBE WEBBING. NICE JOB THEY DID. THEY MADE IT OUT OF A SUNBRELLA FRABIC, AT MY REQUEST. I'M SURE THEY CAN MAKE ONE OUT OF BLUE MATERIAL IF THATS WHAT THE FLY BOYS USED, GOOD LUCK BOB

Here is a link to some pics of my Air Force M37. The color is a semi gloss Strata Blue from Rapco Paint. The black accents are non standard, but how I wanted to do it.

During my 22 years in the USAF I never saw a blue canvas top on a M35 series, 5 Ton series, M37, M38, M38A1, M170 or M715. All with canvas on top were OD. Not all USAF trucks were Blue. Rapid deployment units often left their trucks OD and even in Vietnam there was a healthy mix of Blue and OD USAF trucks.
