No towing hooks that I know of. I use "T hooks" that I bought at Northern Tool when trailering my 71 between Florida and Ohio. In the front there are oval shaped holes right behind the sway bar mounts and in the rear there are similiar holes on the cross member that is in front of the rear tires. I assume that the 78 frame would be similiar but perhaps someone else can verify that assumption. Some forum members have stated that these holes are used during transport from the factory. I don't know but it would make sense to me. You do not want to attach to your suspension if you can avoid it. One thing I did have to do was install additional tiedowns in my trailer to keep the front tiedown straps from rubbing against the front airdam. The front factory tiedowns were installed too far forward in the trailer.

If any car hauler / tow truck driver doesn't know how to properly hook up your C3 with the slots mentioned previously, decline his services and call someone else if they won't listen to you.
Do not hook up to the suspension, front or rear.

I hope like hell you never have to be pulled anywhere to get it off the road or to a safe place while you wait for a wrecker(rollback). I have one on mine and won't take it off for nothing or nobody.
