Show us your cool "old" wheel chocks

[Hounddog]

Yes....you heard right....a thread dedicated to one of the most overlooked, unappreciated, and unspoken shop tools. Enough of that...trying to be funny. Found these at a yard sale. Debating on clean-up and restoration...however those raised letters need some paint to pop!!! Since there's and area code they must be 1947 or newer.... I'm guessing 50's. T&S Equipment Co. Angola IN.

Nice! Sure beats the smelly chunk of rubber from Harbor Freight that I use.

Hounddog-you have that right! What a great accessory for a restored antique truck.

I assure you my 2x4s nailed together with yellow paint and ropes like they have on chocks used for aircraft in no way qualify. Your garage sale finds will rock! Lve to see them refinished/restored!

Mines just some 6X6 chunks I've got laying around that serve many other uses until they get used up, then they become kindling for the shop stove lol.

I bought a box lot @ an auction to get this piece, since I had none. Looks period under the front wheel of my '40 Cab Over.

Has no markings, and in fact one side looks like it was cut via a band saw, so not positive it's an intentional chock, but sure works like one.

Tym: Even HF chalks need love too!!

Tombell: I keep telling mama I need an old truck...even more so with those chalks

Outlander: My arms are probably a half inch longer from all the years I drug those damn aircraft chalks around (17yrs) , refreshing soon!!

Countryroad: When times are hard...gotta do whatcha gotta do..

WQ59B: Yours is probably a little more functional as it will grip... mine would slide on a concrete floor...it'll be a display 90% of the time.

Absolutely, the 1st chocks I heard about were used to prevent logs from rolling and were split from a round. Hardwood chocks are manufactured for packing logs on ships for overseas transport. Same for pipe and 45 gal. drums.
