m36a2 cargo cover

[Manstein]

I'm helping a friend install a bed cover on his M36. The front right stake on the bed is about 3 inches back from the corner. When you set the front bow in, it is caddy cornered because of the side stake arrangement. Do you get another side rack stake to put in that front corner? This is a picture of the truck and the right corner of the bed. You can see the gap between the side rack and the rack behind the cab.

Sure looks like you would use a stake in the pocket in the fixed part of the body, not the one on the dropside.. I seem to remember a similar problem on the 5 ton 800 series... I put in an extra top bow assy and fixed that one... ACE
