Ok, just curious where that came from. It's reasonable to consider that more than one part# was used. We (as a group) need to keep looking for evidence that offers solid proof of alternative possibilities, something that's difficult in the case of something so easy to change out.



I agree. It's been a two-three years now. But at Carlisle there was a guy in the swap meet selling a bunch of parts from a Demon he parted and there layed on the ground a rusty orange 698 hook. I sell a bunch of jacks and jack parts probably 100+ hooks and 100+ jack assemblies. So I looked at it,then looked at the list of numbers from Galen and saw it as a 71 Dodge wagon hook painted reddish orange. I left it there cause I did not believe him...

I don't think that hook was the "norm" but obviously used one some of them....
