M35A2C circa 1968 Strange Bracket
My M35A2C has a pair of brackets (one on each side behind the cab) that are really rods with two brackets similar to the Jerry can mount strap brackets, except that they are narrower, say for a ¾ inch wide strap. It seems like they could be used to allow full length shovels or long gear that cannot fit on the Pioneer Rack. They could be used as tie-down and strap the gear down to the top of the frame rails. To the best of my knowledge this was a California National Guard truck. Any ideas what there are? Are they unique to the "C" bed trucks or are they on all of them?
