Front Hitch Replaces Tow Hooks

Front Hitch Replaces Tow Hooks HITCHES Hitches 27-4-35 This new front receiver hitch is designed to replace the factory tow hooks on your pickup, making it much more versatile. The standard 2-in. front receiver hitch is a direct replacement for a factory tow hook and bolts on in its place. To remove the hitch you simply pull out a pin. "It makes it easy to back a trailer or wagon into a shed, or to launch a boat," says inventor Lee Nemec. "Most customers install two hitches, one on each side of the pickup frame. If desired, a removeable winch can be mounted on either hitch. Or, you can use the hitches to attach a boat/ladder rack or tow bar, or mount a grill guard or cattle catcher, etc. "The original pickup is equipped with a round hook or in some cases a loop, so you can't do anything with the hooks other than attach a chain or a tow strap to them. Other front hitches require drilling and tapping." The hitches are designed to fit 2000-2002 Chevy/GMC 1500 heavy duty 4-WD crew cabs, 2500 pickups/Suburbans, 2500 heavy duty and 3500 heavy duty 2- and 4-WD pickups, as well as Ford F-150 pickups. Each hitch sells for $59.95 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, LEED Engineering, LLC, 420 14th Ave,.
