Got these Seven 5T bows the other day and did not realize that the bow and corners were one solid piece, not a bow with 2 bolt on corners like every other one I have come across. The FSN is no help as it is for the FMTV set. So anybody know what bed these came with?

Dave,
They are HEMTT bows, had them on a covered rear body at Brads place. I also took delivery of a 5 ton that had them installed, they work well on a 5 ton cargo.

Thanks Scar59 figured it was for something like that. I have not spent anytime around Het"s, HEMTT's or MTVR's.
Eric they are still out west till next week, I need to get out as I haven't noticed your truck town.

There's a couple new HEMTT owners among our ranks, both got cargo versions, these kits really complete the rear unit. The staves are steel also. Makes a real sturdy cover assembly.

Yes! Interested! Don't break that up for the bows, sell it to me!

Is it HEMTT or Mk-48? Or are they the same?

edit: I looked up the NSN number (I'm assuming the 'R' in 2540-R1-539-3903 is supposed to be a '0') and it comes up as for a FMTV 5-ton... The NSN for the M977 series HEMTT cargo covers is 2540-01-198-7409. It sure looks like a HEMTT cover though, the number and appearance of the bows and staves... Maybe it was mislabeled.
