Hello!
Well, I got my cover installed on the m35a3c. I have some news.
The covers are NOT incredibly long compared to some of the camo colored ones I've seen. I mounted the lmtv frame on some posts I made from old 1" bolts and some angle iron. In order to get it to fit, I had to trim 5 inches from the bottom of the poles. My angle iron extends 3 inches past the ends of the bed, but looks sharp! Since I'm already desert painted, it looks pretty good.
You definitely get more head room on it, and you get a nice snug fit too. The rig is now ready for camping, even winter time camping!
Things to note- It had never been opened! Shiny!
It has two lengths of poles. short ones go in the front!
It has nice riveted straps on the poles. Don't pull too hard.
I have one extra! PM me if you want it!
Scott and I had fun with moving these from truck to truck. The crates were 300lbs each!
Pics.

Hey! I heard that scott!
Bring it on over! with two people, I bet we can be done in 1/2 hour. If you're tying it to your troop seats, pretty easy. If you want to make mounts, might take us a bit. Mine were made out of 1 1/2" angle iron and spare 1" bolts ( I probably have enough for yours). You also need some 4 1/2" bolts with my way, or with using tube steels (1 1/2" I think).
If anyone is interested, and don't want to Macguyver it alone, come on over! We'll talk, and work out the details. I'll also teach you all I know about welding (about 5 minutes) and turn you loose on it!
