Tailgate Chains
I recently purchased a New Old Stock set of tailgate chains for the late 1950 through 1952 F-1 trucks. The parts include 2 13 link chains, 2 tailgate hooks, and 2 tailgate eye bolts. Since these are NOS I thought I might be able to trade these for a complete used set for the late 50 through 1952 F-1 pickup box. If someone is doing a restoration or a show truck these chains might be what you are looking for. The truck I'm putting these on isn't anything special just a truck so it would be a shame to put such a nice set of chains on this truck hence I'd consider a trade if someone has a decent used set to trade. These items still have the original brown primer on them from the factory and no rust whatsoever. I'm also looking for a rear view mirror for the 48 through 52 F series trucks. If you're interested in a trade send me an e-mail at flatheadjohn@gmail.com

What? Absolutely zero responses! I expect that from one of the "other" boards but not the FTE. Does anyone have a set they be willing to sell outright? Why is finding a set of tailgate chains along with the inside rearview mirror seem to be almost impossible to find used? Right now I can't afford to spent $50 for an inside rearview mirror and over a $100 for a set of tailgate chains. Is anyone willing to help me out here?

My set of tailgate chains is currently being used to hold the oxy acetylene tanks on a hand dolly in the shop 
Not sure if I have another set? I'll look though.
also not sure if I have an extra mirror either? I just found one recently I planned on using in the 52 F-6 since it didn't have one, and I don't plan on hauling hay with it so figured I could use it there.
I didn't realize the new mirrors were so much, ouch!
I'll look around and let you know.

John, I have an extra mirror. still not sure about the extra tailgate chains. I need to dig deeper, maybe over the weekend I'll have time to go throught parts and get them better organized.
pm me your email and I could send some pictures of the mirror.

John I just posted a rear view mirror for a 49 F1 on ebay yesterday, Is this the same as you are looking for ? If so, and no one bids prior to you getting back to me I'll pull the ad and give it to you for free - you pay the postage only. just trying to help a brother out.
you can see the mirror on eBay, search item # 170400731519 and you'll find it.
