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.

Purdy Swoft · 12-09-2014, 12:04 PM

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

C26Pinelake · 12-09-2014, 12:10 PM

i had mine painted the color of the bed which was green. 3 people last summer told me it was incorrect and they should be black. Because I am a fun truck and car person and not a fine point person I did not have them respray them. They look great green.

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.

jkeesey · 12-09-2014, 02:57 PM

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

Bob C · 12-09-2014, 03:38 PM

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.

Fullraceflathead · 12-09-2014, 04:34 PM

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

jkeesey · 12-09-2014, 04:40 PM

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

bobH · 12-09-2014, 04:46 PM

Silly me... I always thought 'rust' was the proper color.
Clem is on it

Purdy Swoft · 12-09-2014, 04:56 PM

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

Bob C · 12-09-2014, 06:19 PM

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.

Clem Clement · 12-09-2014, 10:48 PM

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.
