I think I saw them chains. Was at a swap meet, went up to his glowing table of chrome (almost needed my sunglasses). First thing I picked up was those nice shiny bright piece of crap thrashed and bent chains. I just shook my head and went on. See him at most of the meets, don't even bother to look. Why waste the effort to chrome crap? I've been told by some he really believes his stuff is great.

There is another guy here in town that calls me on a monthly basis for van tilts. He cuts down the shafts and rebuilds em for trucks and sells them on ebay. I looked at the work he does, I don't think I would risk my life putting one in my truck. Be careful what you buy off ebay for sure, you just don't know.
