Is there anything different other than the ID?

Theh old ones are round and the newer ones are kind of flattened out when you look them is the only difference I know of.

Check with Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com he has over 40 deuces and 5-tons in stock, plus a tank, and other vehicles at any given time. Plus LOTS of spare parts!

The diameter is different also they can't lay flat against the bumper. If I was home I could post a pic.

Is there a specific year that the change took place, (to 1")? If the year is undefined, what would be the problem in using the 1" mounts and lift rings?

I will defer to DD on this as well. But, my 1952 and my 1953 trucks both came with 1" mounts and the angled over shackles on them. I don't have my 1954 printed 9-8022 here at work to look at. However, the pictures in it show the angled over ones on all the trucks. Then, my 1952 printed ORD 9 which is basically a -30P manual has listings for both types of shackles and mounts. I don't remember what the pictures show in that one.

My 53 Stude 108 and the 52 Stude 275 both had the 1" pin mounts too!

I think the very first ones (51-52) had the straight shackles. Every M48 picture i've seen has the straight ones.
