Are These WWII Safety Chains?

Post by Dan S » Fri Mar 16, 2018 1:41 pm

Are these WWII trailer safety chains?
They are not the flat early style, but are they WWII late style?
They are not M100.
They are not M416.

I thought they may be truck tailgate chains, but the hook is too big to fit through an M37 tailgate slot.
I'd like to offer these for sale, but I need to know what they are for.

Any help is appreciated.

Tailgate chains for what?
The hooks won't fit through the slot on my M37 tailgate.

You gotta think big.
1-1/2 Ton 4X4
2-1/2Ton, 4 Ton, 5 Ton 6X6, etc.
They look just like the ones on my CCKW if I remove the canvas sleeves.
