PHPaul Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Looking for frame-mount tow hooks to use on my logging truck. I did a search, but any results that included a source were from 5 or more years ago and contained dead links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) The current Peterbilt tow truck has several that go on the back on the lift plate. Also you might try Olsen Brothers, they do a lot of 4x4 stuff, so does Scenes Unlimited and a few other vendors. If you just can't find any, let me know and I will just print you some.

PHPaul Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 No joy at either of those sites. I'm assuming your prints would be resin? Technical question: Can an object designed for resin be printed in PLA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHPaul Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 I think I've found something on TinkerCAD that I can modify to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The old Monogram AC Mack has great towhooks. But they can be made of brass rod and strip stock. Here's a look at some that I did for my Diamond T wrecker. The rod is first heated to soften it for bending. After it is bent you can file or grind away the end to a soft point and flatten the bottom to fit on a strip of either brass or plastic. Give each one a slight twist so that the points of the hook are outward. Add some bolt heads to the top surface and there you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I just bought these, just what I was looking for. PE brass with a decent .028" hole in them. I bought some 3D resin hooks on eBay, but they need a lot of work to look decent. https://stsupplyco.com/products/chain-hooks-photoetched-brass-5mm-long-x-2-5mm-wide-7mm-hole?_pos=13&_sid=79dabf754&_ss=r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report back when they arrive. The 3D ones were too much like work to get them to be acceptable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
