Towing Clevis' Orientation
Quote:
The late production Fords used a slightly different bumper bar with small holes on the ends and repositioned the spring bumper to the front of the bar which necessitated modified towing clevises to accommodate. Both my Ford and Chev have late Ford bars fitted:

Late model clevis
I had a little luck at a recent swap meet and found these 2 late model clevises.
It took me 3 days to get them apart with the rust but finally succeeded. Also fluked some NOS cross drilled 9/16 UNF bolts for them. Just waiting on the slotted nuts to turn up now and we will be set. Graeme

Horizonal vs Vertical also a production date issue
Not to confuse things, but I believe there is a production date change over from vertically mount and horizontal.
There is an old thread on this topic that I have not found but I'll look some more. Hard to see in the attached photo but from left to right: 1942 C60S vertical pin 1945 HUP horizontal pin 1941 C60L vertical pin Now Fords maybe a completely different breed of cat. Cheers Phil

Chev D rings
Phil, I have always believed that the C8A had rings of a different orientation than heavier Chev CMPs (but I'm not sure of the C8) due to different mounts between bumper and frame and that this was something of an identification point if you could only see the front end of the vehicle. Rob Clarke keeps telling us that we shouldn't criticise HUPs based on their orientation......

Grant you maybe correct
Hi Grant
Found the earlier thread http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7277 , and I looked through a large number of photos in my collection which covered Pattern 11 through late Pattern 13 and I did find pictures of horizontal mounted towing Ds (after reading Graeme's post) on some 15cwt and all HUPs (C8). Cheers Phil

How about C15s
Like this one:
 Or this:  Or this one at the Australian Army's test facility at Monegeeta:  Or the one from the Chevrolet maintenance manual:

Heres another New Zealand example and also that elusive front mounted spare tire. I suspect mounting the spare there would save considerable effort over lifting the wheel from the body and provide some added front end protection for that steering column.
