Made myself a set of chains for my K1500 yesterday.
I had an extra set laying in the weeds that came on an 8N. They started out being semi truck chains, for a single 22.5 tire. THEN someone did a real "nice" job of adding onto them so they would fit on the Ford.
I just cut them back shorter again so that they would fit on my truck if I needed them.
Now, i KNOW what these things are, there are 3 of them per chain, and go on the OUTSIDE of the wheel. They look like half moons, and are for tightening the chains after you put them on. Very handy, I have used them before on log trucks.
I needed to know what the tool looks like that works with them though?! I don't have one, and either need to buy one, make one, or find something that works "good enough"...
The hole that it fits in is like a rectangle, but is rounded like an oval. Anyone know what I am talking about?! ;P
Thanks, Bryce
