Thanks for looking ...... |

OK, let’s try this another way - does anyone have any old 40-41 pickup bed chains they would be willing to part with?

Re: 1940-41 Pickup Bed Chains
This is what I am doing about the bed chains and if I have to make the hook, I will. I had one complete chain on the driver side, and just 2 chain links on the other. With some galvanized same sized chain and some screw links (for want of a better term), I made up the one side.
Still looking for the one hook and some bicycle inner tube .... |

Re: 1940-41 Pickup Bed Chains
Those tail gate chains are reproduced in exact detail, with hooks. The chain covers are also reproduced if push comes to shove. I used a reproduction bed myself. Sorry I can't help on a used hook. I'd say any good hardware place would have the hooks.

Re: 1940-41 Pickup Bed Chains
Thank you 38bill - I will take them as that was what I was going to use the inner tubes for. I have sent you a message with my address and just let me know what the postage is.

Tom: Mack Hills in Missouri shows the correct hook. Even if it wasn't quite the same you could replace both as they are cheap.
