A 20 ft stick of 3/8" x 1.5" steel is less than $30. You can build a bunch of shackles with that. Or find some scrap pieces and make a set.
All you have to do is drill a few holes. Do some scrounging and see what you can dig up. A lot of other wheelers may have some old parts they aren't using anymore they could hook you up with cheap.
I save a lot of my old but still good stuff to trade or give to guys with limited cash flow.
You're on the right track asking for advice here. A lot of very knowledgable folks on this and other forums.
Post on "Want To Buy" on the forums or Craigslist. You might find some deals.
