    Tow Points on 33 Hot Rod

    I've tried to search the forum and didn't find anything. Thinking ahead, if I ever break down, what attachment points would a tow truck use? The front end seems to have nothing great. I was thinking even a removable tow hook but there doesn't seem to be a great place to put one or weld one on.

    Anyone ever run into a tow truck situation?

    I carry two 6' long web slings for just this contingency: https://www.mcmaster.com/slings/eyeless-web-slings-7/

    I can choke them around the lower control arm tight against the chassis pivot (do not pull on the lower control arm anywhere other than up against the ends, either the ball joint end or preferably at the chassis). This is how I load the car in the trailer when using the winch and how I used to tie down the front end while in the trailer.

    I have abrasion resistant axle straps to go over the ball joints in front and the rear arms in the back. Longer strap could go through the wheels.___
