Late model tow hooks

I forgot to check what year these hooks are from but it looks like anything 97 up f150 or expedition will work. The earlier ones I saw were cast aluminum.

Fyi they have the same bolt spacing as factory holes in my 77 2wd frame. I used 3/8" diameter bolts for a snug fit in factory holes. Fyi you only have to remove the front bolt completely and loosen the rear and it will slide back to remove from donor vehicle.

My engine is ready to blow anytime so I thought I would try this simple upgrade.
