As a teenager working in the family's Chrysler Dealership doing new car prep we would just take them off, they we used for shipping and served no other purpose 
Sounds logical...BURN HIM!  
Why put them back on the car when they should have been removed at the dealer in the first place? 
I doubt there is a code on the tag or broadcast sheet for them

Yep, burn me too. A lot of hooey over a few pounds of ugly dead weight.
Mine are all going in the scrap metal pile.
Same here  first thing to hit the trash can when "cleaning up" the underside of useless factory trash

Yeap, and tell them they are off a "1971 Hemi convertible"...and you can get the rest of the money you need to build your car.

I agree, they should be removed and tossed in the scrap pile. Years ago I was excited to find something so heavy that I could remove easily to make my cars go faster.
Then 25 years later I do my first real restore on a different car and put them back on because they were there when I started the restore.  Shoot now I just may go out and remove them the more I think about it.

Kinda funny but on my 71 Maverick Grabber this and the tie downs are still on the car. just goes to show that instructions don't always get followed.

Some where in all my junk I have a set of the tie down hooks/brackets that the car haulers used to attach the chains to. They're made to use those brackets to tie the car down for transport. I got them from a buddy that retired from Cassen Transport (deliver the cars to the dealers). Some day I'll find then when I start going through all the boxes of junk from my last move 3 years ago.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Wow. Way more info on tie downs than I would ever have expected. That is why this site is so great. I have to wonder now what the car show judges would have to say about a part like this being on or off a car??? Not that I am concerned with car show points, but because I went from wondering what color they should be to thinking that I should just discard them. Thanks again
They aren't supposed to be there after deliver, therefore they shouldn't be on anyone's judging sheet...... 
Send them to me if they dont have any pits in them . They sell for 50.00 a set .
If they came on your car they should be put back on . 99 percent of them were never taken off .
