tailgate chains
Does the utiline tailgate use the same size/style chains as the early sweptline beds?
Re: tailgate chains
RH I do think they are the same , but hope someone else chimes in , it's been a while since I had a swept bed with chains

Re: tailgate chains
my 64 sweptline has 18 and a 1/2 inches of chain with a 5 inch hook giving a total length of 23 and a 1/2 inches. When the tailgate is down and latched with both chains it hangs level, giving me a nice place to sit and kick it on my lunch break.

The trick is to keep one running so you can get to the parts store.

Re: tailgate chains
if someone has some utiline chains around and could measure them for me i would sure appreciate it... thanks for the info dave and 64truk!
The reason im asking is i was looking at buying a set of the mar-K chains and wanted to make sure they were the same.
