M35 Rear Window

[Jeepsinker]

Master chief , see if you can find a 5 ton with a hard top that is being scrapped and get the back window out of it. It is wider but can be modified to work.

Great idea. Thank you. I do prefer to keep it Military.

I'm going to make a pass through into my 109-box... I'll be extra careful to remove the hardtop rear window, make me an offer!

 

[Jeepsinker]

I would advised against a pass through because of how much the cab and box move independently of each other.

 

[JimmyThompson]

Jeepsinker... you provide valuable info left and right! I was thinking of using an accordion boot to account for the shifting. Your thoughts?

 

[Jeepsinker]

You need something that can account for somewhere around 12--16" of twist and travel in any one direction, unless it is going to be a pavement and gravel road queen.

The one I'm looking at is about 9"... I might make it!

You got that right Jeepsinker ! Check out this rig.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Yeah any normal accordion would have torn apart from the articulation in that pic.

 

[JimmyThompson]

Even a 15" accordion???

 

[Jeepsinker]

You may be ok with that. I don't know though. That picture isn't even a full flex picture.

According to rumor around here gimpyrob had his cab 45 degrees to the box.

Small world Jeepsinker.
my rig is also a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35a2 w/winch & a ten foot power angle snow plow that detaches with 4 pins & allows use of winch when attached.
Still looking for that rear window.

Thanks

Well you can't have mine! I still need it!
