M35 series cold weather hood and side covers

[islandguydon]

Has anyone actually installed this winter hat on their Deuce..?

M35 SERIES COLD WEATHER ENGINE HOOD AND SIDE COVERS 7386179 NOS
US ARMY P/N - 7386179 NSN - 2510-00-738-6179

I was looking for the TM for it. Also, how is this attached to the truck. Springs, clips, rope...? I have a matching grill cover that came with the arctic heater kit, that came with springs to attach to the truck. So I think I have the complete set. Just fishing for info here..?

Don, you are missing parts...

Thanks, What am I missing..? I cant find the TM.

I want one

Saw a truck at the GAMVPA the springs attach to clips screwed on the grill for the from cover.

Ive got the clips for those all over the front of my winch truck. they really booger up the appearance.

One of my trucks has the covers. I tell people it's Kevlar. They nod and say "That's what I figured"!
I'll try to get pictures for you tomorrow.
I'm taking my Deuces to town to fill up with gasoline. I need to "thin" the WMO for winter.

I'll get you a pic in the morning of mine. They are a bunch of clips(as many as there are slots in the blankets) that get screwed to the hood and side panels that hold these on.

I have found that the best way to resolve that issue is to never live anywhere that requires installing a winter front or block heater on anything.

Wreckerman
Coming from a southern man I can respect that . It is what it is. I aspire to retire in the U.S.V.I. but im not there yet. When I go I am bringing all the toys. Then I will sell this winter coat and stockings, but for now I need the installation kit.

 

[eagle4g63]

Here you go the first pic is of the clip screwed to the deuce, then the blanket slips over it and you lace the straps(the ones sewed on the blanket) through the clip. Here is another shot a little farther away so you can see just how many go on...like I said one for every hole in the blankets.

Haven't started on the front grill blanket yet so not sure about the springs?.?. Anybody else help with that part? Might save me some time figuring it out myself.

Clips

Wish I could help. I have a former ND NG truck. It only has the clips for the grill. The front cover in on my wish list, in the meantime...it's hill billy ville. Cardboard, works wonders but looks like crap. Keep the pictures coming. One of these days I'll use 'em for reference.

i had this link saved for when i put my grill on. may help you as well

 

[eagle4g63]

Thanks srocker for that link, that says alot and has great pics. I'll have to check my bags closer to see if I have those flat clips not just the ones in my pics.....otherwise I guess I could just flatten them if I don't.

Here are the TMs I found to put my front cover on.
TM 9-2320-231-20 14-18
TM 9-2320-361-34P fig. 258

The -20 shows where to put the springs.

Don, I have all the clips installed on my truck, you're welcome to come down and take a look. I don't have the hood or side covers, only the front.

 

[islandguydon]

319,

Thanks I might just take you up on that. Very kind of you.

 

[Welder Sam]

id gladly swap my parts with the clips for ones without.

 

[eagle4g63]

leroygreen: I couldn't find the first tm(I checked jatonkam, and google) but that second one is priceless. I wish I had that knowledge when I started to put in my heaters(arctic/winterization kits) that would have saved my loads of time figuring where everything would go.

Thanks for the links.

Yeah, you caught me at a weak moment. Just got back from a very relaxing vacation. I'm available most of this week.
