Winter Front Installation Parts and Instructions help.

[todds112]

I went through some more of the parts that came with my truck and I have a brand new winter front! It appears to have the straps and several of the spring attachments, but none of the clips to mount it.

Anyone know where I can get the installation parts and instructions?

With our frigid winters, I definitely want a working winter grill cover.

Thanks,

Todd

I just put mine on with some 1/2" velcro strips. No need to drill a bunch of holes in the sheet metal that way.

Yeah, could try that. Wonder how well it willl stick, especially when it starts hitting -25F

Well, I have 2 new, in the crate, complete winterization kits for deuces and 5 tons. The kit includes the winterfront, a new fuel fired heater (gas) and all the bits and pieces for installation. You could buy one of those, OR you can make the clips out of coat hanger wire. It's pretty easy to make them with a pair of needle nose pliers.

I'll look around and see if I have an extra one for a sample if you like.

Or, you could buy one of the kits.

PM me if either option is of interest to you.

Hate to buy another cover just for the hardware. Anyone have a good pic or measurements of the parts I need? Is there a TM or installation manual anywhere?

Try looking (Google) for the winterization kit for your truck. That should give you the part number of the pieces you need.

I'll send you one of the attaching loops if you want so you can make your own.

Also, you might try Midwest Military, Memphis Equipt., etc. (the usual suspects).

I was joking about the two kits......

Thanks very much for the offer. I think a picture, maybe with a scale, would give me an idea of what to come up with. I haven't even seen what they look like.

Finally after searching I came up with this thread:

I'll take some pictures and post them.

There are two types: a straight one (for vertical attach points) and 90 degree for horizontal attach points.

I'll see what I can find downstairs and post pics.

Here are some pictures of a 90 degree installation clip. The one in the photo is rounded but others are pyramid shaped. You get to make whatever you want.

As you can see, these are pretty simple to make.




I'm not a professional photographer. You can see why.

I hope these help.
