Need Dash Grab handle + USMC rear shackle mount

Unread post by carolinamv » August 27th, 2014, 9:36 pm

I need the correct grab handle for the 1965 M151A1 pass side dash board. I don't have one or see any holes where it went. Did they all have them?

I also need the USMC mounts that I circled in the picture on a MUTT I found online.

EDIT, I only need the USMC mounts, decided not to add parts it didn't have, but need the USMC mounts

The grab handle was introduced in 1970 with the M151A2. It wasn't fitted to the earlier models at the factory, BUT....it was authorised to be retro-fitted to earlier models if COs wanted it. If you want your vehicle historically correct....it doesn't need one. (that's why there are no mounting holes).

I need the mount/brackets and the shackles. My M151A1 doesn't have any of the items in the picture.

Would the shackles(rings) be the same size as ones used on a M151 A2 ?

Yes HTN, Marine rear shackles are the same as shackles on the rear of an A2 and on the front of the Marine Bumpers.
