Pickup Bed Tiedowns
I am looking for two additional tiedowns for my 1930 Pickup. I have looked in all of the catalogs for Model A's that I am aware of. I thought someone on the forum might know where they might be available.
Thanks for your help! Bob |

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
As they are not original to the Model A beds you wouldn't find them in a Model A catalog. Not sure if it is from another year or make either. My suggestion would be ebay or swap meets.

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Although they are not original you might try Mack Products (660) 263-7444, wwwmackhils.com. I have the same ones on my truck ('31 RDPU).

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Mr Grieb, I have a friend with your same last name here in Florida. He is originally from Nazareth, Israel. I think he resided in Texas for 15 years before coming here.

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
"Back in the Day" I got these at the local hardware store for both a '49 Ford PU and also a '58 Ford PU.
These are listed in the McMaster-Carr catalog, # 15295A1, 2, or 3: Last edited by CarlG; 08-04-2012 at 04:51 PM. Reason: Add info and pix |

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Maybe I need to look in some junk yards or antique stores.
Thanks Bob |

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Thanks for the information Carl. Dan Partain is sending me one that is an exact match for mine. I am going to try and find one more. If I can't do that I will get the one you referenced. I found their catalog online.

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Is there a truck (big) shop near you that sells/installs bodies?? That style hook has probably been around for 50 years or more. Shouldn't be that hard to find. JMO

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Something similar may still be available at Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Menards, etc. I just haven't checked lately. So much has changed in the "general hardware" departments lately, it's hard to keep up with.
Another place to check would be a place near you that specializes in wire rope products. |

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Tried the local blacksmith? Should be an easy project for him.

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
Thanks to all who have responded. I want to find an exact copy. If I can't find one I will ask a blacksmith to make one.

Re: Pickup Bed Tiedowns
I have a trailer made from a box with tie downs. I will check it tomorrow in the daylight and see what they look like. I want the same big bucks Dan got if I have one.
