Door Safety Straps - Help Needed

Post by mudflap »

My open cab is missing both door safety straps.

Does anyone have any pictures of the straps on an early '44 truck? I'm looking for the correct mounting configuration where the strap connects to the body at the rear of the door opening, along with an image of the appropriate snap hook on the front.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards...

Thanks, Rikgerards!

I bought a set a week or so ago... Not sure if they are original, or not. The hooks and anchors look very similar to yours, but the straps are very short.

I will take some pics and post later.

Best Regards..

p.s. I enjoy looking at your website. Your truck looks great. Very nice work !

Here is a pic of one of the straps I picked up several weeks ago. I added the green paint to the metal parts. They were a dull grey when I got them. They seem a little short, but they do fit.

Does anyone know if they are genuine? Or are they re-pops?

Best Regards...
