    I had an old Air Force ring slot chute I packed in some fighter jet sit on cushion/chute pack. All surplus stuff. No catalog involved. Mine looked like the one in your picture. About a year ago I gave it to a guy building an "A" pickup.

  8. There was a guy on Ebay selling surplus 16' ring slot chutes. I picked up a couple for my digger for cheap. Sewed my own chute pack.

  11. So you are just looking for a chute pack or do you want a chute as well? For reference here's what my ring slot and home made chute pack looks like.
