Title: Canvas , which one
Post by: Bigdog on Apr 18, 2024, 04:11 PM
Hi everyone, which canvas do you think looks better,full or 3/4 , I have tried both and unsure, they are just fitted roughly and need to be properly fitted, thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks

3/4 and cab looks pretty snazzy.

Thanks, it's meant to be a joiners workshop believe it or not but the series 2a has taken over 😂

I personally think full length looks best, but I also love my truck cab, so it's not an easy choice.

I have just gone from cab and 3/4 to full canvas.
Very pleased with it and much better for carrying longer loads and talking to anyone in the back
I actually think its quieter than the cab and looks great in the summer

they both look great, though I do love truck cabs, I'd love a 109 truck cab one day, if I ever manage to find the space for one!

so my vote is for the truck cab, better in winter and constant rain too :RHD

There's no answer to this conundrum  :confused

A lot depends on how you (intend) will use the vehicle.

The good news is that canvas tilts don't last forever - though if you garage the vehicle you'll extend the life.
When whatever you choose rots out you can try the other style ???

My cab will always be on as the full canvas goes over my cab

Nice, I will be having a full canvas on an 88 I am going to be doing up but thought the 109 I have was a bit different where it has a full canvas over with the cab staying on

This one is Mohair, It will last forever, It's nice to have because of the small space heats up a lot faster in winter, (If your heater works that Is)
