Lifting Rings

[Sam-Helm]

Good evening, all

Does anyone know where I could pick up a set (4 ea) of the modified lifting rings for the USMC Bumper Mod on a M38A1? All I can seem to find are standard front rings, which will work, but really aen't right.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

What is the difference between modified and regular lifting rings?

The USMC converted the M38A1 to their specialized left ring set-up. They had a kit for the purpose. There is someone out west still selling these kits.








Here you can see the USMC rear shackle at the outboard end of the rear cross member.


Here you see an original M38 and M38A1 rear shackle which is inside the rear bumperette.


Here's a stock M38A1 front shackle set up.
