Did you just have the stakes rattling around in the pockets or did you have a sleeve in there like the support from a troop seat?
If you look at this picture they show a bow pocket. Is this just the vertical support from a troop seat?
I don't have my m35 anymore but I am trying to fit an m35 top to my latest GL acquisition. It is an International S1600 with a 12' x 8' bed that has steel sides and 5 stake pockets on each side. I bought a top and bows but they are loose in the pockets. I remember when I had my deuce that the...
The trip started out pretty smoothly. The Air Force ordered this truck with every option except a cigarette lighter. This meant that I had no way of running my cell phone/gps/mp3 player. I drove the truck from Warner Robins GA to Atlanta to pick up a motorcycle. As I pulled off the highway I...
First a big thanks to Justin (appalacious) for his help. He found me ground transportation from the Atlanta airport to the Warner Robins Air Force base 100 miles away for $35, found me a hotel right across the street from the base, inspected the truck before I flew out, picked me up at the...
If you go with a trailer get a M105. It will be lower than the deuce bed so loading will be easier and the lights, brakes, and pintle hook will all work.
But I would still go with the lift gate and not have to deal with the extra drag and hassle of a trailer.
I have loaded quads and motorcycles into my deuce with 12' ramps and it is a pretty steep angle. I would get a 5000 lb lift gate installed on the back. Thy are not that pricey and the bobcat is small enough to fit on one.
I never had any clearance issues on or off road. Many people said they would be worried about a rock getting lodged between the rear tires but it never happened and I don't think it ever would.
When I wanted to add some more top speed to the deuce and improve its on and off road handling I decided to add some bigger meats. I had these 20"x11" rims made up by Boyce equipment. Then I mounted a set of 395/85 R20's.

I will fly into Atlanta and either rent a car or catch a ride from a member of the Ducati forum who wants me to transport their bike to the west coast in the back of my truck.
I will probably fly out next week and pick up on wed or thur.
I miss the old truck. I will probably replace it with a 5 ton at some point but for now the International is more practical. I can load up 6 motorcycles, 6 riders and head out to the race track or load up the guns and go shooting in the desert. It looks like it will accept a standard troop...
I am waiting for my EUC to come back and then I will be picking up my truck at Warner Robins AFB. I will be flying out from the west coast so I wont be able to bring batteries, oil, tools, etc. The truck is a late model International S1600 in running condition so I don't expect to need...
Here is my old m35a2c that I sold last year.
