Yes I agree with you, and from here on out I shall call it a headgate.

Oh the agony ! Oh the pain ! Oh the horrible shame ! You must seek forgiveness immediately ! and after your penance is finished you must go out and find another poor lost M/V that is longing for a home !I did something shameful to 3 of my deuces this week...I sold them.

Repairing my soft top. The channel stitching was dry rotted and tore apart. Going the seal all and pop rivet approach. PITA

You laugh?!?!?
You LAUGH ! ! ! !
I wasn't concerned about it until you declared laughter. Are you laughing WITH me or AT me????
If I was really going "stand-up comedy" response I would have Posted my FIRST IMPULSE.......
If a "tailgate" is on the back, wouldn't the one up front be a "BOOBgate"????
OK, enough of the anatomy lesson for today.
Carry on.

Isn't the English language such fun to play with?!?!?
I don't know how many times I have had to explain just why a military truck with a cross-country load rating of 2-1/2 Tons is called a Deuce and a Half, or DEUCE for short.
I suppose some people don't know how to play the game (of English language mutation and manipulation).

I never used one of the Speedy Stitchers, but a buddy of mine who lived in Annapolis told me once that they're a piece-of-cake to use (he was big into making his own sails).
You might consider one of these the next time you need to make a canvas repair.

Mine needs the back window stitched back in. And some sort of coating to seal up the threadbare spots on top.
Maybe I just need to find a new one....

Thursday evening, October 15, 2015:
When we got our Deuce it was just a cab and chassis, a former brushfire truck. We immediately also acquired the bed off the VFD's replacement M35A3 and drove her home.
Unfortunately, the taillights from the firetruck stayed on the bed that they retained, and as a quick-fix I simply mounted a pair of cheap trailer lights on the back end. She's been running with them for years now.
Several months ago, I bought a couple of "correct" taillights from another SSer and this evening FINALLY started replacing them. Mechanically, they are "done". But since the "amputated" wire harness was only patched when I installed the trailer light kit, I'm now going to crawl under the chassis, find ALL the correct wires for the lights AND the trailer connector so that rear harness is effectively "restored".
I am thankful for the complete M35A2 Wiring Schematic posted here in the forums...

One thing I don't remember ever stumbling upon is a good source for OEM-type in-line wire connectors. I'm sure they are readily available.
WHERE DO Y'ALL GET THEM??? (Preferred sources please.)
Thanks.

Tonight I took the HH off with the help of Red. I discovered that I need the button retaining clip. Anyone have one? I would much appreciate getting one.

Today continuing trying to start up up on my M35A2, truck # 3. I opened the fuel Injection pump 2 bolt access door and sure enough the pivital piece, that is actuated by the engine turn off cable, that is supposed to be vertical was stuck . So I gently loosened it and lubed it , and placed it in the position closest to the radiator, then cranking the engine it fired for about 3 seconds. Then I inspected that same vertical piece , and found it moved by itself ! towards the firewall. So I prepositioned it vertical, all the way towards the radiator, and it fired for 3 seconds again! I did this 3 times, and the verticle piece moves in the fire wall position. ..Why is it moving itself?

Finally had time away from work to finish wiring the 24 volt Warn Series 18 winch. Tested it and it works! Old man Murphy must be sleeping today.

They are called Packard connectors. Eriks has them.

If you check the type (male or female), gage, etc. carefully you will see a pattern. I made a table of it. I'll forward it on if I manage to find it...
