BOARDING LADDERS

Am sure many of you would like to have one as a useful accessory for your CCKW, 4X4 Chevrolet, or any other large 4X4 or 6X6 Truck
Be careful when selecting one tho, and do not make the mistake of buying one of the steel GI ladders with 4 treads intended for Shop Vans.
The one that is made for the 6X6 Cargo is the MX-3391 G, Boarding Ladder made of Aluminum. It is 62 1/2" in length, has 6 Treads, and attatches at the correct angle of repose for the treads to be level with mother earth.

There are two versions, each has two lanyards to attach to the truck body in order to stabilize it. The late version comes with a quick attaching handrail.
Expect to pay up to $125.00 as the demand has reduced the number available.
There is a shorter Aluminum version (4 Treads) that is perfect for you M-37/M-715 lovers.

I have both, and will take pics so that bill can post them.

Another useful tip from 'ol Joe here.

I have one of the 6 tread ladders and it makes all the differance when loading old veterans into the truck for the Veterans Day Parade. We normally load up at the local VFW for those that want to ride in an old military vehicle rather than their decorated trailer pulled by a pick up truck.
