rare NOS GM accessory tie-down
 

I am not sure what the exact year these are for, but I believe they are fairly old and rare. I have personally never seen any like this before. They are NOS but do show light shelf ware. They have the GM logo with "mark of excellence" below. Would make a great addition to your rebuild.

70longhornCST and DeadheadNM have first shot.

If anyone has info on this item, I'd love to learn more. Thanks.

Yeah, not an item you see everyday. I hadn't even heard of this as until today.

So Pete, do you know what year these are for? I still need to check the fit for you. I'll follow up when I do.

I don't Brian but these were originally sold in packs of six. One for each stake pocket. Here's another pic of a set I got on ebay just this week that have yet to arrive. The seller claimed the part # was d/c'd in 1977 and not superseded by another. Do you happen to have any others or just the two?

Re: rare NOS GM accessory tie-down
 

Pete, you don't need mine. Lol. You have six already. I only have the two. Do you really still want to buy these two? My price is a bit steep just for the pair.

LOL! I grabbed that set on ebay after committing to yours. Since I committed, I will follow through and have no regrets but thanks for asking. Who knows, one may break.
