That set is incomplete. There should be three flags and three long pieces of rod that have a spring middle section so they can be "folded' to fit inside the flare tin box. The flags were placed onto the rods and the rods go on the reflectors.

Also the orignal instructions are missing. For years I had a copy in my set, then I bought another set with the orignal paperwork still inside.

There was a complete set on ebay that ended last week that I had in my watch list, but I cleaned up my ebay list and deleted it. It sold for about $120 and was complete and sure was pretty!

when I got my truck from my Grandfather there was a relector flare kit under the seat but it was red and did not have the FORD name and logo on it. It was a Grote reflector set. Don;t know if maybe the dealer through it in. I don;t think Grandpa would have bought an after market set himself!
