CUCV M1008 Rifle Mounts

Anyone know which TM describes and/or depicts the weapon mounts in all CUCV models? I am certain that I have 1/2 of the parts that I need to re-install my rifle mounts on either side of my bench seat, but I need to see a picture. The only pictures that I am able to find are for the M1009 Blazer- the way that the rifle mounts are installed into the M1008 pickup is obviously different.

Actually, if anyone has the M1008 with the original weapon mounting system still installed, please post some pictures if possible. Thanks all!

Thanks a lot Recovery. All that I have to work with is the butt stock box still welded to the cab floor, and 4 remaining pop rivet holes per side. I have the latch assemblies, but I am missing the actual brackets that the latches bolt up to and rivet to the cab wall... I may have those brackets located today, but if not I'll have to make them.

Thanks a bunch. I was actually able to locate a pair of the mounts last weekend and got them mounted back up. They are awesome, not only will they harbor my M16, but they also harbor my M1A Scout Squad, and my buddy's HK G3.
