What is the correct color for the Pickup Chains and hooks?
 

I just received my Chains, Large Links, Hooks and covers for my pickup bed.
They came bare metal and the chains are primer coated. Did these come Cadmium Plated in 1928 - 1929? My Truck is Black, it seems like Silver would be a good Color choice. The chain covers came black. I bought all of these pieces from Snyders.
Snyders shipped in 2 days.Great Fast Shipping!!!

I believe they are painted the same color as the bed.

The last one that I did was painted black. Black may not have been correct but looked right to me .

Orange suede?

Green may be correct and does look good. I didn't research the color. My thought was that black would add detail. Mine are all just fun drivers.

Ive always seen them body color. Never bothered to research them otherwise.

I would say body color also. Look at picture 36 from Brent's site.

I painted them the bed color,rock moss green,just a driver.

Re: What is the correct color for the Pickup Chains and hooks?
 

I think matching the Bed color would be correct. Since my truck is all Black it looks like I'll paint them Black.

Re: What is the correct color for the Pickup Chains and hooks?
 

Haha so we were arguing to paint them black... or black.

Re: What is the correct color for the Pickup Chains and hooks?
 

Silly me... I always thought 'rust' was the proper color.

And I suppose they could even be dipped. I sprayed mine .

Your probably going to cover them with these anyway
so you don't chip your paint. http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/3002

That looks nice and clean Tom. Almost has a look of shrink tubing. :)

Re: What is the correct color for the Pickup Chains and hooks?
 

Being cheap, I have used bicycle tubing with a drain hole added.

If you have mirrors on the top of your fender mounted mirrors, encase the chains in clear hose. This will keep them from scratching the rims. A drain hole is also needed here.
