73-80 Hooks on 72 Frame?

[Ironhorse]

Was asked this from a friend of mine who recently bought a project 72 4x4 long bed with tow hooks on the GB list. Naturally they are no longer there. A long term project and he knows finding original hooks will be pricey and asked about the 73-80 J style hooks as a stop gap? Have never seen anything that I can remember about their use on the earlier 69-72 frames. He mentioned the re-pop hooks and think I talked him out of wasting his $$ on them. Would never consider re-pops on any 4x4 I personally own.
