I had a call from a Fanatic this morning requesting information on what to tell the tow truck driver for tying down his SSR with a flat. (Retired, just woke up, no coffee) I don't think I gave the best information after looking on the forum. So I did some research and this is the best I could find, it is from a post from RiverRat.
, "I just spent quite a bit of time under the R last week while installing Dick's shift cable kit and Greg's corvette servo. Since I'm planning on trailering the truck in the near future, I've been conversing with Kay (Furykay) on the tie down locations. Inspecting the large somewhat rectangular hole that whaines944 and coolssr refer to reveals that it is not reinforced and I think it could be easily damaged as well. From my understanding with Kay, the proper tie down location is the smaller slot a little further toward the rear and is meant for use with T-hooks. This slot has extra reinforcing plates welded around that opening. There are similar slots in the frame about 1.5 feet in front of the rear wheels, but the rear axle or the trailer hitch would be easier to tie to. "
