Hello. found this thread to be quite interesting. I have a pair of 67-68 tow hooks (based on Deadhead NM's tow hook layout). I have yet to install them on my '72 K 1/2 ton Suburban. Opon initial inspection it does'nt look like they want to fit my frame. My frame came with the tow hook holes predrilled. The tow hook holes do line up with my frame but it seems like the bumper is slightly in the way. Should these tow hooks fit my truck ? If not would someone want to do a trade for the other style. Mine have the extreme curl where the two holes are located. It seems like the other ones that have a straighter neck (where mounting holes are) would fit.
Any thoughts.
Thanks,

J
