Looking at lots of pictures I have noticed something that I need to ask. It might be obvious to many, but i still need to be enlightened.
What is the vertical tube for that is welded to the door latch??? Some have it and some don't. I don't think it has anything to do with holding the window armor upright.... Is it halftrack vs scout car ???

When the top piece is folded down there is a rod that goes inside and holds the canvas door top up in the back.

They are for Canvas Upper Door Covers. The covers have a clear plastic widow sewn in it.
