Tow Hook Bolt holes Question

I looked at the FAQ on Tow hooks and it looks like all the first gen hooks have the same bolt hole pattern. What about the newer, more available, 73+ hooks? Has anyone used them on a '71? They can be had for $30 or so...

Thanks, Tony.

Re: Tow Hook Bolt holes Question

I put them on my 72 Blazer. I had to drill one new hole per hook. The tip of the hook is real close to the spring, so when i use it , i have to use a pin shackle.
They are way cheaper than the older style. I bought one at a swap meet for $2

Cool. Which hole did you use the front or the back? Any pics? Thanks!
