Bows
Here is a .pdf of the page from the -10 but unless you are expecting the IG to drop by, just store them inside the garage. Wayne

RE: Bows
My bow storage straps are getting dry rotted. Any recommendations on who can supply new ones?

RE: Bows
Paul, I think the strap part is the same as the strap attached to the bow corners for securing the sides of the top when rolled up. I'm not sure about the other part.

RE: Bows
If you look at the picture closely, I think you will see that they go on edge and their combined width makes them fit snugly in the rack.

RE: Bows
I can't open the file. I get an error message that says "File is damaged and cannot be repaired." WTF?

RE: Bows
BC, I have the drop side box if that makes a difference. There are 2 'brackets' under the front of the bed (my regular box did not have them), with the straps attached for stacking the bows in and securing with the straps. I'll check them out again, but seems like the straps were definately different than the ones on the bow corners.

Bow Storage
Here is a pic of a bow corner strap and it looks very much like the one on the bottom of my dropside bed which happens to be in a "snowbird" friends garage for the winter, but I didn't get a chance to go look closely at it today. Only the hole in the metal end may be a little bigger for the rod that it goes on under the bed. Might work, might not

PS: Got your 524 in the Deuce yet Paul?

RE: Bow Storage
Went and checked mine. The end that the rod goes through looks like that. There are 2 pieces per side. 1 long piece connected to the bar and 1 shorter piece connected to the bar. The shorter piece has a loop on the end with a spring buckle attached. The longer side hooks through the spring buckle for tightening.
Nope, no radio in the duece yet, too many other projects going on. I will have it in the cucv when/if I go to Aberdeen though, so I'm hoping some other guys will one too so I can use it during the convoy there. Did you get yours hooked up yet?

RE: Bow Storage
Yup, mine has that same setup. Been doing some rust work and painting on the bottom of the bed this winter and hope to get it on the truck in May some time. As to the radio, I still need a few pieces, mx7777 and AM-1780. My friend Jim gave me an NOS MX-6707 still in the box with hardware and antenna sections. Another local fella that I met at the Lowell Vendor Fest told me to come over and pick through his pile of stuff so I got a bunch of cables from him and an amplified speaker. Just located a couple of crew boxes yesterday. Sooo, a few more pieces and I'm ready to install if will stop snowing and warm up a little. Just got 2-3 more inches of that "Yankee Grass" today and still coming down as I type.
