Clamp thing next to stack

[Westex]

Can anyone tell me what this thing is on my Deuce that I'm pointing the wrench at? Some kind of clamp for a flag?

i may be wrong but i think the original, (non-turbo) exhaust bolted to that.

Part of the ring mount and almost all trucks have them.
I think that it was also used for other stuff since not that many had guns up top bumost had this mount.

I hope someone else witll chime in here.. Good question you have there.

Aha! I thought it looked pretty beefy for a flagpole holder.

Yup, ring mount system.

Gosh...I tought you guys were playing around...flag holder...non-turbo exhaust etc

Gimp is right...part of the ring mount

Gimmie a week, I can post a pic of a ring mount installed on my junk

Mine has it also. I have the leg that goes in that clamp for the ring mount as well. If anybody needs it, it's free minus the shipping charge. I'll remove it and send it to you at once.

You got a pic of this thing. I might make it worth your while; we're in a serious war with the feral hogs in this state.

Oops. I'm sorry, but I have to do this. That should read "State".

Its a spotlight bracket

Nothing like "Ma Deuce" to clear out a herd of hogs........you hit them with that .50 cal and you don't even have to field dress them.

Yes sir. And I know you have them in Alabama. But they are wreaking havoc in Texas. Fewer hunters, etc....It has reached a stage whereby I have actually overheard ranchers and farmers state that it is irresponsible NOT to shoot them.

If your serious Please send me a pm I'm willing to pickup and help remove.

Simple I just took mine off and threw it away! It is part of the mounting racket for a non turbo truck! the stack hooked onto it, someone must added the turbo if it is factory the truck!

 

[cessnatwin]

the ring mount can attach to it, but see where the paint is different color that is where the exhaust hooked onto it!

 

[Stan Leschert]

Gotta be the ring mount. Our M-135 has a similar thing. I will talk to a couple of vets who went through the CF M-135 Veh Tech course and get back to you as soon as possible.
If someone smarter than me can answer faster, I would appreciate it! I normally just clamp a flag there, but it is looking like a real sporty place to hang a convoy light!

It is for the M66 ring mount
One of 3 mounting points the other 2 are on the rear corners of the cab then those legs support a ring that weighs a little over 435 pounds not including .50 cal M2 its
ammo or a gunner leaning on it so yea they are stout.
Take care
