Upside down "C" welded on the bottom of the deuce bed

[JMPM35A2]

Ive searched all over high and low, and cannot find what this thing is. Can anyone help me out? I can include a pic if needed. It is in the center of the bed on the bottom, right above the tires. Ive finally figured out what the rods for on the front underside of the bed are for, but this one I'm clueless!

Sometimes the words "SLING POINT" are stenciled in that area.

So you can do this.

There is actually a bracket that goes in there and pins to the top of the spring pack. The slings are supposed to be attached to the bracket.

Thanks gunboy! Ive googled till I couldn't Google anymore for a pic just like that.

Gimpyrob is correct on the answer. A bracket is pinned to the top of the spring pack and it goes into the "upside down C". On the end of the bracket is a loop and the sling is attached to that bracket. The brackets are hard to find on the loose and when found, most of the time they are scrapped because no knows what they are. I have saved two sets from being scrapped because the owners did not know what they were.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

WRONG. It's for jabbing you in the head or neck when working on the vehicles.

Close up.

WOW that is crazy cool! I must find a set for my ol girl now. Not that I would ever lift it but would a great conversation piece!

 

[VPed]

They are not that hard to fabricate, if only intended for a conversation piece or display purposes.
