I've heard that the top bows may be tied down in the bed of the truck, but have been unable to find instructions or a photo showing how this is done. What do I need (straps, buckles,?) and how do I arrange the bows?

With winter coming and hopefully some rain on the way I need to get the truck ready.

Here is a picture that I took at the IOLA WI show last August.



And a link to the whole thread since there are several M37 pictures. http://www.g741.org/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7345

Nice pictures, Bert! They didn't show up in your original post for me, but worked ok here.

Thanks Guys! That should do the trick .

After seeing that thread I had to go out and buy the web straps for the bow tie downs... I gotta be like you guys!

Hi Guys,

So where does the long wooden stick get stored that runs down the middle of the bows when they're up?

thanks,
bob

Under the drivers seat Bob.

Bob,
I am not at my truck and don't have a pic... so this is from memory but I saw somewhere that the top center ridge pole has a bolt hole on or near the center. The center vertical metal piece that holds the boards above the troop seats has a hole in it and a captive nut welded inside. You can see the one on the passenger side on the pic above. The long board sits on the edge of the rail/top edge of the bed side and a bolt goes through it and into this captive nut into the vertical metal post. (on drivers side) Maybe you can figure it out from that.
