ya just wondering if anybody had found something awesome

[Plymouthy Adams]

for show the chrome would be nice..for go...the covering of the chain with an old bicycle tube was the trick of the trade with a drain hole cut in the very bottom of the loop..no rattle..no banging of the metal tot he paint job..that is how I did mine years ago..guess a quick change set of each would be very appropriate..

I went with the Stainless chains from Roberts.

I bought these:

Not chrome, but galvanized.

Other than being high quality no-rust stainless steel, what I like about Bruce Horkey's tailgate chains is that my tailgate lays dead flat and even with the surface of the wood bed when hooked up in the down position also the hooks are designed so that they never touch the finished exterior surface.

I used stainless steel chain and polished it a bit. I also used a bike tube to cover them (1 with bike tube on and 1 without for the attached photo).

Flopping, uncovered chains add patina. And some nestolgic sound. I would rather look at the patina and listen to the slapping chain sound than hear a rice rocket boom box trying to overpower the crappy exhaust buzz. But that is just me. To each his or her own.

Don,

Well you might convince Patina Paul and Dolly Dodge, but I'm not buying it. Without covers on the tailgate chains, how would you hear around the truck and a broad. That makes a lot of noise.

Happy Summer!,

I've been driving my truck for 5000 miles and no tailgate chain covers. Honestly I rarely hear them. Just on large bumps or if the clutch chatters a little at slow speeds.

"Patina Paul" . . . may need to change my handle.

Its B four B like B4B. And when i signed onto this forum my screen name was dodgepu1946. Somehow the young ed thing came up and a PM to GTK and it was changed.

Yea like he said B FOUR B, it's kind of an insider tag, you have to know the truck model to understand it.

My 1st choice was 53 B4B but for some reason Firefighter tags can only have 2 numbers total in the tag & only 6 letters overall.

I also thought of PLTHSE, JOBRTD, JBRATD, etc being able to use 7 letters would have opened up a lot more ideas but as it is BFOURB was the best I could come up with.
