I am sorting thru the mislabeled covers I purchased from GL, and it looks like I have a cover from the new 2.5 ton FMTV M1078 with two parts split sides. How well will this work on a M35A2? It looks like the FMTV has flatter bows.

It will fit, but not well....

Oh well too bad. I listed it on ebay since I can't use it. Maybe someone else can.

I am also wondering about another mislabeled cover I have. It is 20' long and about 90" wide. From the look of it it has the deuce type arch in the bows. It is the just like the newer deuce vinyl cover with the built in end flaps. Any ideas what this might fit?

I am not certain, but it might fit the 5 ton long bed, which has a 20 foot long bed.

Yeah I was thinking a 5ton of some sort. Any idea which models used the 20' bed?

I may be wrong but it also may be a cover made for the MKT I know we had covers to put on them for the times that we were in garrison and this looks close to that. This is based on the way the ropes are attached.

The first one that is now on ebay is definatly for the M1078 as it happened to have the NSN number printed on it to look it up by. The second one that is 20'x90" had no numbers other then the DRMO/GL number that called it a 1-1/2 ton trailer cover. Kind of big for that not that they really care. I did a search and was not able to find a MKT?
