As mentioned previously, a while back my local Marine Reserve unit allowed me to do a side-by-side comparison of my M813 and one of their MTVR's. They even helped me try out an MTVR tarp on my truck to see if it would fit. It didn't. Anyway, I ran across the diagram I did of the measurements...

Not at all! :wink: Mine is the camo one. It has stock height bows, so the tarp comes most of the way down the bed sides. The overall green one was on GL some years ago, and had raised bows. The rounded bows on the 813/939 series are different from the peaked tubular bows on the FMTVs, so...

I imagine a 16.00 would fit, but not without some modifications to the tire rack for the larger diameter. It is set up for a pretty tight fit, but could be adjusted. The tire is held in the rack by a fixed block on the upper right (davit side) and the clamp arm on the left. The diagonal...

The ISO bed is very versatile. Each side is divided into two sections which can be dropped individually, or together. The sides can be easily removed (but they're heavy!) and slide into a rack under the bed. The troop seats slide into a rack below the sides. (This is an excellent place to...

The ISO bed is Marine Corps specific, they replaced the stock beds on M813s with them during rework, and also put them on the M939 series. The M813/939 ones are 15' long and are not the same as the MTVR beds, which are shorter since the spare is not mounted inside. (Yes, I measured both beds...

As you suspected, at 15', the ISO bed will not take the standard 14' 5-ton fitted tarp (no matter how much you sweat and cuss, I know, I tried). An MTV/M1083 (modern 5-ton) tarp will fit, but it is around 10-11 inches taller. This means you can raise your bows by that much, or just have it...

Interesting truck, looks like a Marine truck with Army markings on the bumper? Is the serial number USMC######? (Not asking for the actual serial, just the format). Cheers PS - I only had one truck, at one point...... :-?
