Raimondo,
When I needed the chocks I went to www.NorthernTool.com and purchased their
H.D. Wheel Chock 7x8x10, #331722. Honestly I didn't even think about
getting military issue as my concern was to get some big chocks ASAP. It
wasn't until a year later that I was at West Point and saw that they were
using chocks with their Humvee's and to my surprise they looked exactly like
the ones I had purchased.
Can anyone else help Raimondo with his search for military chocks for his
Jeep?
John
'93 M1038 HMMWV

John,
You did mention "chocks": I would love to have two chocks for my WWII
Jeep! However, being an O.D. addict I would like a couple of military
chocks!
Can you help? I have no idea if military chocks are available, which
sizes/dimensions, etc. I do not need them for a truck but for a Jeep with
7.00x16.00 tires. Yes, I know, usually Jeeps have 6.00x16.00 tires.
I am sending this e-mail directly to you and not to the Mil-Veh List
because since two years all my postimngs bounce back (and I do not know
what to do to solve this problem!). However, I am receiving all the
postings, although I CANNOT post!! Please, send your reply to the List so
other members may read it.
Can you help? Thank you so much!
Regards,
Raimondo MVPA15878 & IMPS 2320
