FWIW (Don probably won't see this, without online access), but the element
he's talking about came attached to a boom, 2x3 base, double sloped, with
two "arms" that held the hook-tab from either side.  3 other sets had this
red boom/red hook combination:

2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Red

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name                Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ---------------------------- ---- -------------
1   *     642  Tow truck and car (European) 1978 LEGOLAND Town
1   *     6363 Auto Repair Shop             1980 LEGOLAND Town
1   *     6679 Tow Truck                    1980 LEGOLAND Town

Then around 1995, TLG rereleased this part combo, this time with a grey hook:

2x3 Sloping Brick, Top Boom with Hook: Red/Grey

Qty Color Set  U.S. Set Name     Year Theme
--- ----- ---- ----------------- ---- --------------
1   *     6562 Gas Stop Shop     1995 Transportation
1   *     6337 Fast Track Finish 1996 Race
1   *     6548 Octan Gas Station 1997 Town Jr.

I personally don't have any of the hook in red, only grey, but hopefully
this will help other sellers out there to know what's being discussed.
