RE: m-220
Whats that top from, it looks like a brandy new type that half the side lifts up so loading can be done at just half the side at a time, in the FMTV's half the drop side like the Marine iso ones can be lowered, BUT one does NOT have to move the trrop seat to do this it stays right up out of the way, SO is this a top from a FMTV? It sure seams to fit just long on the sides, but i like it, Randy

I don't remember a M211 bed having that strange cut out in the back. Do you know where the bed came from?

I'll bet dollars to donuts that's an M35A3 bed.

It's nice to have other people appreciate your hard work.Thanks guys!I did not know what truck the bed came from cause it was just set on the frame when I bought it.Thank you for identifying it for me.I love this site.As I said before, the data plate on the dash and the frame number prove it started out it's life as an M-220.I guess it's an M-211 now.The very nice guy I bought it from tryed to fix it up but he just did not have the resources to do it.The mud flaps I got from DEUCEMAN along with some other stuff.Anyone know what the rear cover is? It splits in half for rear loading I guess.
