ID these tow hooks? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Picked these up off a Blazer (rust bucket, the hooks were more valuable than the truck) for $150 and I'm gonna spray 'em black for my '72 Jimmy. But, are these the extreme bends or what?

Those aren't the '72 only extreme bend hooks. At first glance I thought they were the rear tow hooks, but I believe the rear hooks have three mounting holes and not two like those.

Where were these mounted?

Here are a set of the extreme bend hooks.

These were mounted to the front frame of a '72 blazer. Had to take a torch to the bolts to get them off!

Those are fairly common used on big trucks and busses. If you go to the FAQ and look for tow hooks, you will find a thread i have on how to ID them.

I agree with what the others have posted.

So was $150 too much?

Probably, but you live and learn right? Factory-style rear tow hooks have been selling on this board for $65 - $100 per pair in the last year. Those are the ones similar to yours but with the correct three bolt holes instead of two.

Ummm, yes. Just call it a life lesson and they will still look good on your blazer.
