On my M1007, I tie the lines to the rain gutter track.
Here are some photos I just went out and took off the instruction
sheet that comes with the antenna mount kit (you can get these on eBay
and probably from other listers here).
I took two photos of the instruction sheet:

and the two types of clips I have:

but I think the clips go on the antenna end of the rope, not at the
body.
What are the two types of clips for?
It appears from the paper instructions (these pictures are zoomed WAY
in...the drawings are tiny on the paper) that the military intended
the tie down lines to attach to some kind of mount that attaches
through a drilled hole in the fender or the side of the "bed" right
behind the door, and the lines cross over to the opposite side
antennas. This is strange...I've NEVER seen a CUCV displayed with the
antennas done this way. I usually see the tie downs going up to the
brushguard or the rain gutters.
Let's figure out the correct tie down method and placement for this!
