Yup, the Red hook I have is the one you want.
Now, what am i gonna do with an extra tow base with no hook??? :)
As for the Blue base, I got mine from set 6378 Shell Service Station (1986). I
don't know of any other sets to have this in Blue.
Yellow tow bases are also not so common. Sets 6628 and 6371 are the only sets
to have Yellow. Red is all over the place.
My Lego Town is actually overrun with tow trucks. I have tow trucks for Shell,
Exxon, and Octan service stations as well as one for the Police and a few
others for small auto service shops. Since they are mostly custom vehicles, I
don't use the classic tow crane on all of them--there are so many other options
for creating tow trucks with Lego pieces.
When towing cars and trucks with these classic tow crane assemblies, one part
that works well is the 3 x 2 plate with rounded end and hole -->

It keeps the towed vehicle from falling off the hook when going around curves
or over bumps. I keep one with each of my tow trucks, usually attached to the
bottom of the wheel plate.
