mounting rear tow hooks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

turp mcspray · 07-10-2010, 09:55 AM

Awhile back someone posted a thread on how, and where, they mounted their rear hooks. I've searched the board for the last hour, and can't find it. Anyone remember the thread. or who made it? Thanks for any help anyone can give!

High Turp,
Currently there really is no documentation on how exactly these things install from what I am aware of, but here is a thread of some one whom got it done so far. Good Luck on mointing yours.

Hey Turp,
Here is the original thread for this, so I added it for you. It shows pictures but nothing really solid on how these things mount. Hope this helps you out as well.

I am starting to wonder if they actually mount on the side of the frame vise the bottom. From what I can see of the brochure in the one post it looks like the side. Whom ever cracks this mystery will be the man of the hour that is for sure.

Thanks for the link. I did find that info. Someone had mounted some awhile back, like within the last 2-4 months I want to say. I remember them making a plate that they added so all 3 holes had a place to mount. Seems like two of the holes sandwhiched the plate between the hook and the frame. I just can't recall how far ahead of the end of the frame they went. My blazer is completely tore apart, so I don't have anything together enough to look at. I am working on a 72 super 4x4 for a guy, that I turned into a short box. He wants to add a blazer tank which may interfere with the hooks if they angle in towards the center of the vehicle. I was hoping to get it figured out before I paint the frame. That didn't happen, as I just came out of the booth from spraying it. LOL! At this point I'll just wing it, and have to touch up some holes after I drill through the paint. Thanks for trying guys!

The more I think about it, this might be the one I was thinking of.
Thanks again.
