Wow - best deal $4.87 a piece, only sold in 20 pack......... $97.40.
Not so bad if anyone would sell just a couple or a hand full. I think I'll just get the calipers out and run to the hardware store for some nylon blanking grommets.
Fascinating and factual...
Any reason why this is in the Mods and Hot rodding forum? I had always assumed that in-service mods were considered as good as "factory" with regards the history of military vehicles whereas this category was for 'after release', civilian mods....
I'd even go as...
Nice find there Jeff. Looks quite similar (but smaller) than the Ward one...

Trying to get the old 60 Series Detroit fired up... following fuel lines as I'm not getting any (looks like it's the 'diesel head '- water fuel separator diaphragm/piston pump failure) BUT, there are fuel lines going through the "STE/ICE Differential Switch". It is on the side of the frame rail...

I don't know if there was mix n match with a newer...
Been studying TO 36-1-191 on USAF vehicle maintenance, chapters on vehicle markings and have this question for FORMER SERVING S/S members.....
Markings generally lusterless black 2.39, HOWEVER the National Symbol for vehicles posted to overseas operations should display five pointed star in...
It's called a Whiffletree - spreads the lift of the crane hook out to the two lifting shackles on the front bumper for a suspended tow. Check the operating instructions in the TM. There are a ton of posts on it's use. The unique pins that go through the lifting shackles are like rocking horse...
I got Tan from Home Depot before - they have Gov codes so should trust the colour mix.. Looked fine on my M916A1. There is another thread with pics of the truck and paint can code...
