What Do I Have?

[Day Tripper]

I picked up 5 metal bows for my deuce. When I tried to assemble them on my truck with the corners and staves, they were too short. I compared them to correct ones I got from Gimpyrobb and they are about 5 inches short. They are 70 inches od. They are lacking the the lock down button. What do I have?

Post pictures. They 'might' be for the 105 trailer, but that is just a guess.

That's what I thought at first but they look more like a deuce or truck bow than a trailer. Gimpyrobb showed me some trailer bows, they aren't even close.

M105 metal bows are square, apx 1.5 in straight tube. Possibly for a Gama Goat?

From pictures, Gama Goat bows have a bigger arc than these.

Gimpyrobb suggested that they may be dump truck bows but they don't match the dimensions of his buddy's truck.

I thought the bow and tarp assembly where the same for the 5 ton, The dump, And the wreckers.
Least all mine are interchangeable.

Sounds like you have some from a dump truck.
