Tony,
I can't speak to a CCKW, but the M35 and M211 cargo bows are about 5 feet
tall from the deck of the bed. I have always assumed that the dimensions
are the same for all deuce-and-a-halfs.

Subject: [MV] CCKW canvas question...possible axle housing repair
Could someone kindly tell me, what is the distance between the CCKW
cargo body floor and the canvas roof...ie floor to ceiling in the cargo
body.
(from the inside)
I am fiddling with canvas fitment and bow construction.
My estimate is 45-48 inches.
Also, on the cabin roof, there is a section that flops over the sides.
It appears to have a stiffened section, to hold the doors in place.
Does it?
If i dont procure another front axle housing to correct the welded
up ends(causing bad camber), I may proceed as follows; simplified
Bassically I would level up the housing and carefully measure
runout on the hubs with a dial gauge, then the axle housing welds would
be ground down with a grinder until the cracks reappeared.
The axle ends would be 'bent' a little, measuring runout with dial gauge
then tack welded, remeasure etc. Once happy, a pro welder can finish up
with special rods.
I guess i would probably need to virtually cut-off the ends to allow
correction to occur, that would be the worst bit, but otherwise, it
would be fairly straightforward..i think i could achieve sufficient
accuracy to within or close to spec with my measuring technique.
Does this sound feasible, any suggestions?
regards tony
