Bed tie downs on a deuce

[rdixiemiller]

Anyone seen tie down rings inside the bed like you see on the 5 tonners? I see them for sale on E-Bay all the time, just wondered if they were used on the deuce.

You mean on the walls (sides)? I have seen 'em if that's what we're talking about.

They are used on some deuces. I've heard exactly what their purpose is but sure can't recall>

There's a kit. It's for tying down cargo, be it crates or what have you. There are 6 tie down point kits at Coleman's Surpus. Bolts, tie downs and all, just no drill bits.

The A3s have 'em for sure. Might be a few A2s with them also. There's a picture of the pockets from outside the bed in my M35A3 post in the Photo Gallery section.

My A2C has them. I just figured they were on all of them.

RDD's deuce has these tie downs, I think his has 2 or 3 kits. I plan to buy a kit or two to outfit my 116A1 with sometime soon, meant to do it last week, so I coulda had it done for aberdeen.... oh well.

I think they tie downs are just on the dropside beds. If anyone has a dropside out the recessed tiedowns please speak up.

 

[mangus580]

RDDs is a standard bed. I think they were put in what ever needed them at the time.

I've had several of eah without them. I've heard that they were installed for securing nuclear ordinance but can't remember where I heard that. Can't verify so its just a thought.

 

[red devils dude]

what's werd is mine has a ton of them but it had a como shelter(those box things with radio's) in the back for a
long time.

Tie Downs.

 

[rdixiemiller]

Those pictures help! The ones I have seen for sale have what looks like an outer cover that would bolt up outside the bed. Looks like it would be a reinforcement as well. I guess I will pick up a set or two and install them in mine. It is handy to be able to tie things down on occasion.

I recognized your handle. No prob, I don't bid against people I know from here. These look to be weld in units. From the pics posted bu deuceswild it looks like sometimes they get bolted in without the reinforcement plate.

Deuceswild, not to be picky, but if you ever plan on using the antenna, make sure the mount is properly grounded to the vehicle. Int/ext tooth washers are usually specified here to cut through the paint.

I appreciate that rdixiemiller! I figured posting that might help keep the price down a bit. If someone is in dire need of them then send me a pm and I wont bid anymore. Thanks, Devin

Just so everyone knows, Colemans carrys the set of 6 for $12.95.

If you can find TB 9-2300-280-30 it will give you info on istall instructions for various MVs m35's use 20 tiedowns. I have been trying MILDOCS for three days but their ETM search has not been working.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I can't find that TB on Logsa. I need to search around here to see if I can get it.
