Another tow hook ??
 

Ok guys i am needing a set of tow hooks for the 71 but dont want to pay the prices that they are up too now! So does anyone know of any other hooks that will mount up?I am hopeing that i will have to pull a F@** with them someday....lol.They will be used and not just for show,so i want quality and cheep...lol.Thanx

P.S. any pics?

Arthur, I got a set off a 73-80 for $20 plus shipping

Randy will they bolt up without any mods?If so i will take them.I think i should just send you a MO every week for the thing you have that i order from you........lol.Go ahead and figure shipping ok.

I'm not sure how they will bolt up but I know some guys have put them on our trucks before. I'm waiting on Bobby Villa to come from Texas this morning, so I'll get you a price this afternoon between the football games. Thanks Randy

I would also like some for the back of the truck,any ideas anyone?

Someone posted a pic of some on ebay that were close to original, here is a # of an old item you might pull up there name and see if they have more listed #2451588502. Around $30-35

I put the 73 style hooks on my truck. Its shaped like a J. I used one orginal hole and had to drill the second. Its a tight fit between the spring mount and the bumper..
Randy:bowtie:

Is that what your tow hooks look like Randy?Do you have any pics?

Mine are off a 73-80, J style. The ones I told you about on ebay are rear ones.

Here is a pic of the e-bay ones titup was talking about.

those hooks on eBay aren't original rear hooks...original ones have three mounting holes, not two. Do a search for rear towhook, there have been pics posted of them before.

The ones on eBay might be from a C/40-up, but I am not sure.

Just so there is no confusion, the pic I posted was not supposed to be originals...just something close.

Me too Longhorn Man, I never said original I said close to original. Their military ones it says.

Thanx guys i wasnt after original anyways,Like i said CHEAP.....lol

I won the auction in the above post there not nos but close, that was good enough for me. he told me he had 3 or four more sets, can't bet the price I can email his email to you. pm me.
the prob with the frount hooks is most mount to the bottom of the frame, not the side like org. see link

There's a couple sets on ebay that are about ready to end with no bids yet, they are the large truck,bus type but chrome, usually the chrome ones were on fire trucks, look at his other auctions for the other set, starting bid at 15 and 20 bucks. These might work good on the rear but due to there large size I doubt you could make them work on the front.

I bolted a piece of 1/2" plate between the frame rails and used generic hooks from the off-road shop.
