Re: Rear tow hook 1960-66

The pics above are a 72 frame, which seems to be a little narrower at the end of the frame. On the 63-66 I believe the frames are 3 1/8" or pretty damn close. The hooks are 4" wide at the rear with the mounting holes being around 3 1/2". The bolts are 3/4" grade 8 2" long. The problem is the outer most hole towards the rear end would split on the edge of the frame. The frame will have to be widened in this portion, maybe 4-6" total. Maybe CaptainFab can help on this one. I made a pretty good template last night, but forgot to bring and scan.
