Does anyone out there in TV land have a slant back with the CLIP,SPRING TENSION BLAST SHIELD still on it.
Ah what is a CLIP,SPRING TENSION BLAST SHIELD you ask. Me tooo. But I believe it was only found on the TOW models and provided somes sort of protection from the firing of the TOW.
I am working on my 1986 m1045 and it was removed from the top (just above the rear hatch) I'm looking for pics so I can fabricate one. Or heck I'll buy one if someone has one laying around.
Thanx in advance.

DJ,

I have a 1026 and am not real sure what that is. I have looked at tow missle tops and the only difference I have noticed is the blast deflectors around the antenna and along the sides of the hatch, other than that I can not tell them apart.

If you figure it out let me know. There is a tow missle model not far from my house and if it will help I will go look at it for you.

or for a blast sheild on the antenna: figure 237, item #6, sheild, blast, vehicu Part number: 12339642

NSN is 5340-01-448-4316.
Jimmy, if you ever get a chance I would love some pics of the TOW model.
Although not running, the M1045 I picked up was mostly complete. Only a couple of thousand miles. Would like to see what it is missing.
Still looking for the TOW night sight.

Dj,

That nsn refers this part number 12339569 and it is part of kit p/n 57K 223, it is the sheild strips around the hatch.

See figure 244 item number#2 in the same manual mentioned above.

Did you get the M1045 in TN?

DJ,

I will try to get by there and get some pics by Monday at the latest. But the pic that Ted posted shows it very well, in fact it looks identical to the one I was talking about, parking lot and all, very strange...

That is a picture of a M1045 that was/is for sale on ebay in Knoxville, TN this summer. It is not mine. Would have been a great project for someone for it was fairly complete.

That is what I thought. It is the same one and it is still there. Guess that saves me a trip across town.

This guy always has one or two sitting around and has a couple of warehouses full of parts. The last time I was there he also had a restored M998 and a M151A2 with every option made.

Nice M1045 your building....where did you get TOW equipment?

For the clip,spring,tension blast shield, try:

Jim Henry's company 704.983.5940

or for a gold plated one:

Chuck Dadlow (old jeepacres) 219.363.8402

BTW, I have 5 new Goodyear MT radial (37") on like new rims for sale that sure would spiff up that truck! Let me know...they are in MI.

Hi Bruce,
You need some more vehicles... Looks like the herd is getting a little small.

Thanx Ted,
It's actually an old pic. I have since installed a new set of radials on the upgraded 12 bolt rims and a 9K electric winch.
thanx for the offer though.

Dj,
It looks like you done a lot of good work to her! With TOW, for fun, put on one of my "repro" butterfly grills. They are made of aluminum...see picture.
