Truss plates

Truss plates

Truss plates

(OP)
First time user wants to know if anyone has ever heard of a wood roof truss manufacturer from nearly 40 years ago whose truss plates say GRIPLATE on them.  The perforations in the plate are triangular and the plates at the ridge are triangular also.  I also believe the plate says SANFO TRUSS on its face.  
Any info that may lead me to other information would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Truss plates

I am not familiar with those names.  I suggest you contact the Truss Plate Institute in Madison, Wisconsin.

Thank you Dave,  I have already spoke to them and it looks like a dead end so far.

RE: Truss plates

Info I found was for Sanford Truss, Inc.

Sanford Gri-P-late, Sanford Truss, Inc.

Was a pressed, not rolled plate.

Check Structural Building Components Magazine.
