NOS extreme bend hook ...did I pay to much ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

52napco · 04-17-2016, 10:10 PM

http://m.ebay.com/itm/CHEVY-GMC-N-O-...av=WON&trxId=0 scored a driver's side extreme bend hook. I have a passenger side so it
was dumb luck when I stumbled on it with 54minutes to go. So am I an idiot for paying this much ?? My wife says yes

In The Ten Ring · 04-17-2016, 10:21 PM

Seems to be the going rate, based on what I see on this site. Maybe a bit more, but who cares?

"You never pay 'too much' you only pay 'too soon!'" That's a quote from a gun collector I know and he's 100% RIGHT.

**too much stuff** · 04-17-2016, 10:36 PM

I think it was a fair price...

**undertaker72** · 04-17-2016, 10:36 PM

ken , its like I told you , you have the brother to it , but if you want to make bank ill buy it from you lol you gave a going rate and got a nos , its what your willing to pay and there willing to sale , you did well son

**undertaker72** · 04-17-2016, 10:37 PM

you going fishing , oh wait ive seen the bait your hanging on that

SS Tim · 04-17-2016, 11:01 PM

Please correct me if I am wrong but "extreme bend" 72 only hooks are not "handed" and have the same part/casting number.

The earlier style used from 69-72 were handed. In fact the 70 parts manual is showing p/n 3941733 as being a 69-70 left hook.

El Dorado Jim · 04-18-2016, 01:15 AM

Is there numbers on the hook you already have ? please check the numbers and post when you get the new hook, I am curious,I am looking for a set for my truck, don't care if they are 72 only, would like 69-72...

52napco · 04-18-2016, 06:58 AM

Good eye on the numbers.. the one I bought sure l9ks like an extreme bend hook..
Ill look at mine n a bit to verify the part number.

52napco · 04-18-2016, 07:01 AM

See how the very tip is pointing straight out....the nos hook is an extreme bend just curious on the part number.

Going haywire on us now? There goes another one

indymachinist · 04-18-2016, 09:59 PM

The only time I would say paying 200 for a tow hook makes sense is if it is for a full blown original restoration. Otherwise, total lunacy.

**jocko** · 04-18-2016, 10:07 PM

yes, I see it
yes, I see it
yes, I see it

**DeadheadNM** · 04-18-2016, 10:14 PM

The sets of 72-only front hooks I have are all OEM and lack part numbers...

thank the lawd, cuz I was thinking, "part numbers?? I don't recall any part numbers... maybe mine are some of those 'just for show' tow hooks!"

52napco · 04-19-2016, 06:25 AM

My other extreme hook doesn't have a part number either. I'm thinking it's not a
extreme one now. I bid on it and it's not the seller's fault so I owboyed up and still paid
and my truck has 2 of the other side hooks on it one extreme and one of the earlier 72
Style that I removed off a truck in Utah. Is it possible that they put the wrong hooks from
the factory ??? I swear they didn't appear to have ever been off the truck??? Either way I have a ds hook to match one on mine and in my defense I paid up because I had the other one otherwise I would not have paid this much m

Mine have no part #s either ! My 69-72 did, but not the 72 only.

El Dorado Jim · 04-19-2016, 02:26 AM

I think I may run the hooks from the '81-87 trucks they look pretty good,and I have a set they are bent sideways not straight like the 73-80 hooks

**special-K** · 04-19-2016, 06:32 AM

Prices people sell all the factory tow hooks for are crazy high and the impractical extreme bends are the worst. But, you paid 1/2 what a pair of used go for and yours is N.O.S., so as things are you did quite well.

Those hooks shown as 73-80 are actually 88-98. There were two style between '72 and '88 skipped over. Those aren't all that different from the earlier ones except the ends are rounded off.

**undertaker72** · 04-19-2016, 07:11 AM

these are not mine , but here is a picture of extreme with the #s on them, naw I need to climb under mine and look

**too much stuff** · 04-19-2016, 08:45 AM

The extremes carried the same part number as the 69-72. Not sure why some had part numbers and some didn't. I have both. They all have the small symbol on them.

Tim, if you are referring to my pic of the 73-80 hooks, that is what they are. There are actually 4 different styles of 73-87 hooks that I am aware of.

CrewCab59 · 04-19-2016, 12:05 PM

To add to the years of hooks

81-87 in 1st pics and was also used 88-91 v series straight axle.

CrewCab59 · 04-19-2016, 12:07 PM

2 second pics

88-2000 classic . Which are way different than the 73-80 in the above pics.
