Weston - are those hooks only on early cars? I didn't see them on my '88 when I was in the same boat, and we ended up winching the car onto the bed of the truck using a nylon strap around the front control arm.

In early cars, you can probably get away with using the steel hooks which tow truck drivers have on their winches since the control arms are steel, but it would still make me a little uncomfortable. The rear is especially tricky. I ended up pulling mine backwards with the same nylon strap run below the rear trailing arm and around the torsion bar end, and I don't really recommend this.

The next day, I bought a tow hook online.
