strange splash guard brackets

[tcruwithme]

I've got those same brackets in my 1985 M35A2C. With mine, that circular cup is right up against the plate.

I'm pretty sure my A2C deuce did not have them.

..... With mine, that circular cup is right up against the plate.

... because your's are mounted facing to the front...?
One- or the other is incorrect - if it matters at all.

My AF M35A2C has it to.?????. Its like the square hole in the M105 bed.

My M35A3C has them too... They are mounted on the front side like tcruwithme's are. The round part feels like its hollow (cup-shaped). Just what we need... Another M105 square hole-style mystery! Hope this one gets solved!

I went and checked mine, and they are there, but mounted like the two in G's example mashed together: Mounted touching like pic #1, but on the other side like pic #2. Hmmmmmm

My 1973 m35a2c doesn't have them.

So you have a drop side bed that doesn't have them?

Correct..

What's really annoying is the parts books do not even mention anything close to these brackets ! So far we know it's only on M35A2C or newer A3C . Most appear to be Air Force units. Where's "emmando" when you need him ?

Double checked my '87 A2C that was delivered last month, it is equipped with the brackets. My bud's A3 has them also, however they were reversed as not being utilized. Still looking through the manuals.....
