Top and Rear Canvas Tie Down Question

[overlordofmars]

Hello, I ran into a problem, Some crack head broke into my storage yard over the week end. They tried to steal the canvas top of of my 211. Who knows why, we manage to get to the yard just in time to chase them away. ( we have cameras ) Well The both tops were on the ground. I am having a **** of a time remembering how they were tied to the truck. I had an instruction sheet years ago, but I cannot find it. Does any one have the diagram of how to properly tie the top and rear canvas down again?

Thanks

Chris

The rear canvas is held to the rear support by screws and the top slides in to the top of the wind shield and go's over the rear canvas .

Sorry to hear you went through that, somebody gonna get a hurt on.

The best I can find is TM 9-8024 Part 4 of 4.........

Hope the pdf link works for ya,

http://militarytrucks.ca/Files/m135_manuals/TM9-8024pt4.pdf

Page 524 onward . . . . . . .

If the pdf doesn't work start here MilitaryTrucks.ca - M135 Deuce Truck

The 50's manuals are a little challenging, good luck.



Sure like to see more pics,

Thanks guys, I have been getting most of my trucks ready for the big move, its not safe here any more. We had another break in last night and its only going to get worse. This storage yard is finished, too much low life trash in the area. I have a house 40 miles from here in the mountains, my back yard is going to become my parking lot. Luckily I have eight acres to play with. The trucks should be safe there till I can get a better place.

Overlord, sorry for your troubles. Glad you have a place to take your Iron to. Do you know if it is a drug problem, or is it people who are not working, what is causing the issues out your way?
