Gasser lifting shackles

[hndrsonj]

Anybody have a source for a set of front shackles for a Gasser duece?

M135 or 211? I have a set. M35, no.

M48

Is there anything different other than the ID?

Theh old ones are round and the newer ones are kind of flattened out when you look them is the only difference I know of.

Check with Alex at www.idahomotorpool.com he has over 40 deuces and 5-tons in stock, plus a tank, and other vehicles at any given time. Plus LOTS of spare parts!

The diameter is different also they can't lay flat against the bumper. If I was home I could post a pic.

I should have some round ones. Not sure what they are off of.

Nice Mule in the background, Maccus!

Is there a specific year that the change took place, (to 1")? If the year is undefined, what would be the problem in using the 1" mounts and lift rings?

I will defer to DD on this as well. But, my 1952 and my 1953 trucks both came with 1" mounts and the angled over shackles on them. I don't have my 1954 printed 9-8022 here at work to look at. However, the pictures in it show the angled over ones on all the trucks. Then, my 1952 printed ORD 9 which is basically a -30P manual has listings for both types of shackles and mounts. I don't remember what the pictures show in that one.

My 53 Stude 108 and the 52 Stude 275 both had the 1" pin mounts too!

I think the very first ones (51-52) had the straight shackles. Every M48 picture i've seen has the straight ones.
