M35 Gun Ring Question

Post by M38A1 MP Jeep » Mon Jun 04, 2018 11:40 am

Will M36 legs work when mounting an M66 Gun ring on an M35A1?

If not, what are the proper legs for the M66 and does anyone have them for sale?

Thanks

Jon
I am seeking information on M38A1's configured for MP use from 1953-?.

I am also interested in equipment and uniforms worn and carried by MP's during this timeframe.

They should be the same. I can confirm later in a day or two. There are special adaptor plates for M-35 as the CCKW ones are for the smaller CCKW open cab. I should have the adaptor plates.

Thanks Joel.... My friend Paul in Connecticut bought a complete M66 gun ring kit that came with these M36 legs - anything you can share would be appreciated.

I'll check on the adaptor plates with Paul - could you possibly post pictures of them? Are these plates different from the reinforcement kit used to mount the gun ring kit to the cab?

Thanks, Jon

The plates are the triangle shape multi hole plates that adapt ring to fit the different width cabs that the mount is made to fit.
