Default hooks

next up was to fabricate the hooks. I used the torch to heat up some 5/8 hot rolled rod and flattened out the ends, then I trimmed them to shape and ground the edges. Then heated them up againand did the u bends. Next was to bend the loop into a link of the chain, I neglected to take a good picture but it shows the before and after in the one picture. Then hung the chain and cut to proper length.
Which i use to hold the tailgate flat, the originals are a few inches longer.
