Default Ford Front Scotch Hooks

I came across an original Right hand pigtail hook - here: https://www.lwdparts.com/product/hook-pigtail-rh/

Do not hope I will ever find a Left Hand one, so I am going to manufature them. Some friends want a R.H. copy too, so if anyone needed a L.H. one after buying a R.H. original, or a set of both, let me know.

Does anybody have the original rope? Or dimensions? Where should it be stored in the rear body?

Thank you,
Frankie

Hi Frankie

From my C60L with winch I might suggest what is pictured
Pigtail.jpg
is actually used to guide the winch cable along the frame to the front winch fairing. The attachments for the scotches are simple heavy "U"s will try and dig out photos.

Cheers Phil

Default I stand corrected

Hi

Just pulled the Ford Parts Book FGT-01 and yes indeed the pigtail type hooks as pictured were used to hook the scotches too.

Just another of those FORD vs CHEVROLET using the same parts differently.

Cheers Phil

Attached photos of the scotch hooks on my C60L. As far as I can tell it was fitted with winch from original, not added post-service. Clearly, both the winch cable pigtail and the left rear scotch hook have been abused . The right front scotch hook is located on the bottom of the frame inboard of the battery box.

Default Rear FGT cab 13 hooks

Hello again
those hooks are on my cab 13 FGT
Phil - there are the original late version cable guides - really ugly ones, even for a commonwealth vehicle
Regards,
Frankie

Default Hook replicas

My blacksmith just finished the frontal scotch-rope hooks for winch equipped cab 13 Fords, so if anyone was interested, let me know!
I dismounted the rear one from my FGT so he will make them too, if anyone needed a pair.
