M809 Winter Front

[Jersey4x4]

I am looking for a winter front for my M816. I bought one on eBay that was NOS in a sealed bag with all the hardware but it is not for the M809 series, I am not even sure what it is for now after trying it. It looks like it could be but nothing lines up, the hood hold downs are off and it is just not a good fit. Anyway 7978798 is the number on the winter front I have but am looking for the correct part. Any hints on the correct one and who may have one would be great. Thanks

they are hard to find but obviously much larger than the deuce fronts. it took me a while but I eventually found mine on ebay. found the entire set for the hood and side panels too.

I have been looking and bought the one I have on eBay but it does not fit correctly. Is the older 5 ton truck different in the front?

I did some more searching and the winter front number 7978798 is for the M39 series 5 ton trucks which have a flatter front and different hood hold down system then the 809 so that is why it dont fit. I just listed it on eBay and maybe someone can use it. Wish I knew the number for the M809 cover.
