    The NSN for the vise is 5120-00-223-1951, the hand receipt manual was in my truck when I got it. The vise in mine was made by Yost, model 32C. If you google the NSN it will show specs/suppliers of the vise.

    dashboard cover

    I dont' like them, there is a company on ebay selling new dashpads. Keep you eye out for people parting out cucv's here all the time, I just got alot of rust free parts from a poster here. One of the first things I ask for is the dash pad. The gov't replaced alot of them so there are some around.
