[TeufelHunden]

Does anyone have the drawings to fabricate the subject Bumpers? I'm looking to, as accurately as possible fabricate the bumpers for my Deuce.

Thanks in advance

I'll try to get some measurements off my M36 this week. It has the 'paperclips' on the front bumper.

What are these used for? We dont have them in the Army on any of our trucks.

They are used to lift the trucks onto ships. Since the Marines like to load all their equipment on their trucks the standard shackles could not take the load. I was told this when loading up the "USS Spartenburg County" for War Games.
