Mounted my tow hooks (Pics added) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The wrong way!

I don't see how they could do me any good at all mounting them the way they are supposed to be mounted. I mounted them so they will work for me.

What hooks did you use,67s or the ones for your frame?

krue · 07-03-2007, 10:38 PM

Did you weld them in place?

Mudder · 07-03-2007, 11:46 PM

I think they are 67's and no they are not welded............yet.

Pics tomorrow.

only in movies about the 60's Tim! hahaha

Mudder, are they suppose to point inward, is that the "wrong way" part that you mentioned? Those are the right style though, like mine...

Mudder · 07-04-2007, 01:43 PM

Not sure about the inward but the hooks themselves should be towards the front by the pics I hav seen here. The way I have them hooks from a roll back can be hooked onto them without falling off and so can a tow strap.

**special-K** · 07-04-2007, 09:47 PM

They look great!!I have a set like that and couldn`t figure how to fit them with existing holes.I saw they lined up backwards and thought,"nah".Then,on this site,I saw they went backwards:crazy".

Mudder · 07-04-2007, 09:56 PM

Thanks. I just thought they needed to be functional if they were going to be on there.

msgross · 07-04-2007, 10:28 PM

I thought that they went like yours.... hmmm

I'm gonna mount mine like that too...then tack the nuts on the bolt!
