New guy here, just picked up a 1985 AM general M35A2C with the white mulitfuel engine. This guy has lived on a air strip in the Air Force for most of its life.
Any way my question is I've been searching and still no luck locating the T bolt looking guys the retains the tail gate up on the m35. I will post a pic of what I'am talking about shortly. Any help locating this will be great!
Thanks,
Erik

They may be kind of hard to come by. Do you have everything but the bolts?

The T bolts wouldn't be that hard to make if needed.

Man your quick. Yes I have everything. I guess over the years of driving it arou d the tailgate has worn away the treads on the T bolts. So now they don't tighten up. I have been thinking g about cutti g off the threaded end and welding on some all thread.
Here she is.




Took some time and painted up the rims.


oh yeah and here is what Iam talking about.
