Deuce Towbar Instruction Decals

[clinto]

ok, I hope this is the right thread for this........................ since this seems to be the "towbar detailing thread".

Now that Polverone has made these outstanding stickers (I bought a few sets and they are gorgeous) what can we do about the ink stamps on the towbars?

When I paint my bar, I'd like to replicate these ink stamps (see attached pics below-Courtesy of Stonepicker1).

Clinto Have a rubber stamp made down at your stationary store, they work.

A long time away and I do miss my OD fix and friends here.

As noticed in this thread I tried to make the Tow Bar decals as close to original as possible.

Through much back and forth and help from fellow SS members I have the NSN # of the tow bar for the Deuce as "NSN 4910-01-365-9304".

A question has come up from an ebay buyer (where I sell these) as to a different NSN #.
The buyer has requested a NSN # - "NSN 4910-00-433-7094"
Through a Google search I found that this is indeed a NSN for Vehicle Tow Bar Universal.

My question, "Is this a different classification of tow bar for a different vehicle other than the Deuce?"
My search also mentioned that this other number requested may be a newer replacement NSN.

While we are at it, is there a similar decal on the 5 ton+ heavy duty towbars? If so, if there is any pictures available I would sure appreciate it.

Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hey Will? We going to Fontana soon? Miss ya'all.

What's the current price on the decals?

Hi Mike,
I haven't forgot that beer I promised you when I get back up to the Northwest around the Kelso-Longview area. I just wish I could have made it up there before Big Mike moved back down here. Need to visit Reuben (Big Elk?) in Oregon too.

They are $10.75 for the 2 decal set.

Go to my eBay store here: Left Coast Design

Go to the Military Vehicles section and you will find them there along with a description.

I would love to get a set of those decals if I could only find a tow bar to put them on.​

Im my experience, I have seen a dozen BIG tow bars and none had decals, and were newly factory painted, the medium heavys we are useing these stickers on are for a 5 ton and under fyi, that i am sure was not the question, but saying it anyway, The big towbars we are seeing are hemmitt tow bars in my eyes opinion, , that is what i am seeing them on, and of course armoured vehicles also, But never seen a decal on em, if anyone has ends that connect the BIG heavy tow bar to a standard M series truck, i am willing to shell out some dough for them, They are rare, but out there somewhere..., I have never seen a sticker on the medium light tow bar, but would love to get some, AND THANKS! I finally got 2 of my tow bars painted up with the decals i got last years, and they are so sweet, i made very special hangers so not to scratch em, and keep another tow bar in the truck, so i do not have to use it, yeesh,, it is worth it though...

i got me BIG TB adaptors (the ones with the 1" hole and the big hole) from somebody here on SS. these adaptors are made so they pivot just like the medium adaptors do on the front lift brackets, if you try to bush a double big hole adaptor, it will bind up on the lift brackets, the big adaptors just have to much metal

I have 2 NOS medium towbars (the medium heavies) and they both have the stickers.
