SHAZAM ! I DO see the spring mounts now! I'm viewing the pics on a larger screen and I now see that they are indeed present.
I apologize for sounding an alarm unnecessarily.
The beds on the Deuces and 5-Tons that I have observed in their unaltered state typically have bolts ONLY it the two...
The frames of these trucks are designed to twist/flex on uneven terrain. The beds are therefore hard-mounted using the rear anchor points and the front anchor points have LONG spring mount bolts assemblies. HOWEVER... It looks like your front mounts have already been altered to be hard-mounted...
Saw this article about an F-117 Nighthawk being retired to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and realized we have not yet started a dedicated thread for this aircraft.
So.... here we go ! ! !
We'll start with these photos and their source article:

Ah, brother Ahab!
Thank you for pointing out my Faux Pas. My manners were below standards.
I apologize if that offended anyone. Most sincerely, please forgive me.
Well... now that you bring up that question....
Uncle Sam's various intelligence agencies HAVE decommissioned several satellites which are still in orbit and functional. The most well known (at least by it's products) are the KEYHOLE family of Photo-Recon Satellites which are now generating...
I am reminded of the Glider Pilots of WWII. Their primary role was following the tow plane, tripping the cable release, and then performing a successful (typically crash- ) landing. Once that mission was complete, they were pilots-turned-infantry and had to morph into a completely non-aviation...
I actually have no idea what that bracket is for.
But I've just got to add this: "It's there to make young troops ask questions..... Now carry on."
:goodjob:rofl
Congrats !
What an outstanding restoration project.
Now we're anticipating the NOVEMBER 2019 initiative to be created!
I encourage ALL of you who didn't win this month to take another run at it.
Winners' vehicle entries have "term limits" and cannot compete against you again .... There are so...
Um....
Need we remind you that you're in a very capable 6x6 military vehicle dragging an equally off-road capable trailer......

But FENCES.... And TREES.... Now THEY can be obstacles !
How's this for a slightly modified C-130..... with STOL capabilities!

Heavenly Father,
You have called home one of this brotherhood. Please cover his family, friends, and all who grieve his passing with legions of Your angels. Lift the burdens of their hearts and bring to them that peace that surpasses understanding that Neil is now with You. Thank You, Lord...
Hmm...
Yeah, MANY rushed to judgement saying that the space program was doomed to failure too.... long before the first THE RIGHT STUFF was ever filmed.
Fortunately, others waited until the fruit was on the tree with both the NASA program and the first film before they started judging what was...
Post #2 of this thread contains two click-able links which will display the images you seek.
By the way,
WELCOME ABOARD :) Find a bunk, Stow your gear, and Prepare to get underway :driver::driver:
APPLAUSE !
Sounds like you've got our winter plans all lined out.
By the way.... Why do cats just LOVE to play with MV parts and climb all over them too??? Do you think they fall for that camo deception???
My twitchin' votin' finger has spasmed on ONE and cast my ballot.
To y'all who this month are the runners up, PLEASE re-submit your MV's in future competitions. So many are worthy. It somehow seems unfair that we must choose just one from many.

I encourage you to use that impending date as leverage to motivate by potential public outcry any elected, appointed, or hired official to GIT 'ER DONE! No bureaucrat likes that sort of negative fallout to be looming over their governmental employment security.
Still praying from Texas for...
