As my title obviously states, I'm looking to buy some shackles/d-rings for attaching tow straps and whatnot. I'd like for them to have a 1" pin, so I can make my own shackle reciever or whatever they are called. I'd like to know if there are any good places in the STL area or anywhere online I can buy them at.

 

Something like this?

Actually, if you just search for "clevis" itll turn up a bunch of those...I think theres one in there with a 1" pin.

 

I think I'm in love with that website now.

 

Well it took you long enough

And yes, something very similar to that, only with a 1" pin.

One thing I noticed, they have some that the pins screw in. And they have some that uses a cotter pin. Not sure which type you are looking for though.

Either way, they have what you need by the looks of it.

 

I found that one, and I think I'll be getting a few of those
