Very nice looking Deuce! Looks like a USMC truck, judging from the fact that the piece of round stock that's bent into an upsde down "U" on the bottom edge of the bed, between the duals, has the added on 1/2" thick angled steel reinforcements, on each side of the U piece. I've only seen these on USMC trucks, but I'm always willing to learn something new if I'm wrong.
I have a set of the USMC "lifting bars/rings" that attach at the pin above the axles, between the duals, then extends up, and out of the upide down U piece, then curve upwards, in a big rectangular loop. These, and the so called "paper clips" that attached to the front bumpers were on the early M35 gasser, USMC trucks. I haven't seen them on the A2s.
Anybody know anything about these?
Thanks - Tom
