That looks great and I also would like to know where you get the chain from? I've got the shackles mounted, but no chain.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Thanks. The chain assembly isn't military. I just put it together with parts I already had and painted it to keep the rust down. The chain is 1/2" G80 and the hooks were from a damaged wire rope sling. The hooks have some crazy high rating and the large opening comes in handy. It's just my stump pulling chain but the chain is actually is too small.That looks great and I also would like to know where you get the chain from? I've got the shackles mounted, but no chain.
I finally got around to installing the A2 spare tire carrier. It was a bigger job than originally anticipated!Had some holes to drill, only 3 if you can believe that!
Pic #5;The A1 spare tire carrier removed. The 4 arrows are the main attachment holes ,which aligned perfectly with the A2.
Pic #4;2 holes were drilled for the upper exhaust support.
Pic #2;A2 carrier bolted into place,The red L shaped line will be cut off for clearance.The red arrow is the 3rd hole that was drilled for mounting.
Pic #3; You can see the upper exhaust support bracket in place, The red box will also be cut off for clearance.
Pic #1;Almost a tragic end to the day. I had the spare tire up in the air checking to see what else needed to be moved, When the eyelet broke off and the tire hit my thigh and due to my lightning fast reflexes I was able to move just enough to get out of the way! As you can see someone doesn't know how to weld!But I will say it was my fault for NOT properly inspecting it before use.
Pic #6; What could've been bolted here?

Since None of the M939 series trucks was/were issued with the 1600's I would venture a guess the carrier now in use on your M939 series truck came from something else Unless a 1600 can fit in the standard A1/A2 carrier. (I haven't tried or measured to see if a 1600 could fit in a standard issued (aka 1400) A1/A2 carrier.I have the wide tire version that fits a 1600. not sure which one that came off of.
