What do you guys think, are these rear hooks???

msgross · 03-15-2007, 08:42 PM

looks like it... some people mistake the stubbier kind but I think yours look like it (no expert since I don't have any, yet) Where do they mount on the frame?

Were these on a vehicle?Sometimes the rears are mistaken for ones off buses and international harversters IIRC.I think the IH's are similar.Im sure Rod could tell ya.They look like they are the real deal though.

They weren't on a vehicle, but they supposedly came off a Chevy truck. To me, they looked just like the ones in the accessories catalog. The bus hooks, from what I can tell, are generally two mounting holes, I believe. The three hole IH hooks have a smaller mounting base on them.

These look just like the ones that just sold on Ebay. The ones on Ebay supposedly came off a Suburban.

71swb4x4, those are IH hooks, according to the other threads about rear tow hooks on the board. The base is different. The ones you had are smaller base, not as long.

Why do you need tow hooks?

As long as they are stamping out fords, hooks will be required!
