I found - and bought - one original pair - one early, one late. Thank you all for help!

Hanno,
I am very lucky. I will share it of course. Sadly there are no drawings of the rear body, just a very long list of body parts - including ones marked "for the Indian army".
Believe it or not all I bouht was in one dutch "CMP supermarket" felt like Santa Claus running all over germany with this great load behind!
I bought many more parts for the FGT, only a very few missing now
Frankie

I do not have the original "scotch hooks" on the front bumper. It seems that the Chevy and Ford ones are different - could anybody také some pics and measurements of the ford ones, please? It seems I have to reproduce them. Would be lovely to find originals!

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
