I have been looking into rounding up all the little parts for a wrecker that I hope to have soon. Can anyone tell what this things are?

Looks like a chain or cable would attach to the clevis on the end.

Hmmm...might help to identify what wrecker you are getting. We have an M816 and the spades do not stow there...and the spare tire?

John, the BII kit is detailed in the PSmag here on the site. PB, looks like an M62 bed, might not be his, but a pic he found relating to wreckers, and now he is looking for whatever that is. I have never seen those before, but there is alot I haven't seen.

Just guess, but maybe those things are used to lift crates? Like lagbolt them to the wooden corners, just a guess.

Default Thingys on wrecker

I have a feeling that the items are bolted to a box/vehicle and used to tied down heavy eqpt. f you look at the items closely you see 4 bolt holes and the clevis but there are 2 different types thingys. Look at the clevis and they attched to the piece in different direction, bolted on the side or rear all clevis in the same direction??? Used on something like a bridging 5 ton???
I am going to buy my new M816 next week and will look at the wreckers in the yard to see if the items are there.
