That part number comes up now as a aluminum core with plastic tanks,
From CARQUEST, Murray,O-Riley's and others.
I dropped my original off my Rad. shop he said I can get you new one in Aluminum,
I told him No thanks I have that for now, Spectra SPICU850
Find me a Core.
These parts are changing...
The civilian trucks had a latch.
My M1028A2 does not.
In fact I haven't seen a military CUCV truck with one, but I've only seen a

Truck bone stock other than emblems, running boards, drip molding and IL required cab lights(width)
Finally got around to adding the optional roof drip gutters around the top of the door

After five years of owning this M1028A2 finally got it repainted and spruced up a bit.
Still need to install rear mud flaps as required by IL. law and running boards to protect the lower doors and front of rear fenders.
More importantly so the wife gets in easier!
Need to decide if OD or Black?
