Rear tow hooks
Looking for a picture of installed stock rear tow hooks.
I picked up a set and will be installing them into my 72; would like to see how/where the factory installed them. Thanks in advance Tbruz |

Re: Rear tow hooks
I had these saved for reference, but am unsure if 100% correct. I suppose they would be great on a flat bed truck.

Re: Rear tow hooks
Nobolt,
Appreciate the pics, my frame doesn't look like that; I don't have that wedge shape on the bottom. Any other opinions and pics welcomed Thanks Tbruz |

Re: Rear tow hooks
someone chime in on this...
I believe the wedge/triangle was added to accommodate the hook. I think Pete (DeadheadNM) has these on his 4x4. I may have stolen the pics from his build.

Re: Rear tow hooks
The wedge was added for a mounting spot. Remeber the rearhooks were an accessory. Here is the only picture I have of the installation sheet showing them mounted on the side of the frame.

Re: Rear tow hooks
We added the wedges to accommodate the hooks on my K20. There is little clearance below the level of the rear bumper - mounted to the side of the frame would render these useless on a C/K 10/20/30 if a bumper is present so avoid that.

Re: Rear tow hooks
Contrary to mythical beliefs these hooks are not rare. You can still buy them from the original mfg AND the 2801 style would fit better on a frame rail, if you are so inclined to add hooks at the back. Put the 2801's in with some grade 8 hardware and add some doubler plates and never look back (no pun intended).

Re: Rear tow hooks
Cleveland Hardware Part # 2801-C LH and RH Sales contact-Kathy@clevelandhardware.com They have a minimum order of $125. I had to order a total of 6 hooks 3 RH 3LH to make the minimum order of $125. Inexpensive. Good luck, Bruce
