: The first thing I would do is phone a place like Walck's 4wd. He parts out CJs all the time and probably has buckets of them. Make sure you ask for the originals because I doubt that anyone is manufacturing them today. The new ones I've seen are either flimsy or all chromed up.

: Otherwise find someone who is parting out a Jeep with a bad body. The footman loops are the same from 1945 through the 3B at least. I suppose military are the same size as well..

All footman loops are not the same. There are subtle differences. Ford made them slightly different for the GPW than Willys did for the MB, and the loops on the MB were different from the CJ's. Anyway, if your looking for exact resto then check out the Beechwood Canvas and WeeBee Webbing sites.
