Help! I Need Tow Shackles

[dabtl]

I need a pair of tow shackles for the M135/M211 deuce. The front and rear are the same.

Do you have a pair? Shackles, I mean.

the pins in the early deuces are NOT 1" but ARE 15/16"

Sam winer had box of brand new of 3.00 dollar or somthing like that, they almost fit on CCucv found a nsn and thats what they went to

 

[dabtl]

Winer says they are out of them, yesterday.

 

[Carter]

Are these the type you are looking for?

 

[dabtl]

If the pins are 15/16 they are the right ones.

 

[Carter]

Just measured them and the shackle eyes are 15/16" and the pins are slightly smaller, more like 7/8" I got these 20+ years ago off of the front of a M 135 wreck at Winers, I just wasn't sure they are the correct ones and what you need.

I hate to resurrect this subject, but my M1009 came without shackles (all four missing), the number do-dad on the front, and the brush guard. I got the guard thanks to CW Tucker. Still looking for the rest. The local truck shop doesn't have the right size, though they have many types. Those shackles are a b**** to find.

for the back i used shackles from a 1998 mack truck. had to run a round file thru the mounting but they look original.

So, are Carter's shackles for sale and if so how much? I am looking for a pair myself. As well as a couple of rear bumperettes.

 

[dabtl]

I think I bought them.

 

[Carter]

dabtl sent the $$ and I shipped them to him, that was the only set I had.

 

[Oldfart]

Drat! Well, I will keep looking. I took a recount and I actually need 3 for my truck and 4 for my van body. I haven't measured the van body lift shackles yet, but they look to be the same as the lift shackles on the truck. ~ Thanks for letting me know they sold.

 

[rhinob]

Somebody could go in the shackle business, huh?

 

[Oldfart]

It makes me glad I got some M37 parts trucks back when they were more available. Now I need to scrounge up some M211/M135 spares. ~~ Wonder if GL could make some money like they do with SF97's and sell shackles and headlights when you exit the facility?
