Have you considered rolling the excess strapping and cementing it between two little squares of styrene to simulate the ratcheting hold-downs on such trucks/trailers?

Since the ratcheting hold downs used by truckers are hooked to the truck/trailer bed at one end and then ratcheted to tighten the straps at the other end, I think it would be relatively easy to roll one end to simulate a ratchet, glue it in place, and after the glue dries to pull it tight and glue the other end and cut it off.
