I've just confirmed this! After some digging in my "junk-pile" and measuring a cut-up M939 cab, I can assure that the M35 rocker panel replacement parts in question will work for all three of the 5-ton series, as well.
Dimensions are exactly the same as shown in my drawing, here...
:ditto: .... unless of course that there is strong indication that the studs have been over stressed/stretched, now (?) The only way to actually confirm is to deflate, then knock out one or two (of the most protruding), and compare its thread pitch against a new stud, or a suitable gauge at least.
Sounds good! ... for the phosphatizing at least. Regarding powder coatings, some (or most) are terrible, if you had to MIG-weld those pieces together - which obviously is the case here. But I know that you know that...;)
Working on it right now....
OK, here you go.... See attached drawings, also in PDF, below.
(all to scale & done with the good old MS-Paint ;-) )
Also a few more pics....
Dimensions were taken from what I believe is an original section - and those "round" numbers all make sense - but...
It should be clarified that it is a T-Case PTO (Model P-136-C) that you want to add, in order to move a pump with enough pressure and flow, for your log loader/grapple to operate at adequate speed.
1st picture is the same, mounted in place, followed by the propeller shaft and hyd. pump.

FYI, the stock FMTV valve stem is a HALTEC #AMG-4, shown here.... (Not to be confused with the Schrader large bore valves!)
Specs- and possible solutions were discussed in this thread...
Maybe better to post your questions there, or eventually start a new thread about it. Then I would move...
.... Correct, and here is a drawing I made of the inner WS-frame and its glass dimensions (ha..... posted almost a decade ago... ;-))
FWIW, M44- and M809-series trucks share the exact same windshield parts, inner and outer.
Yep, they all are - when new, at least. But in the practical world, that property may not last for too long; say one- or two disassembles and that's about it - especially if the studs got rusty already and nuts removed without cleaning/chasing the threads, first.
That's why these are said to be...
