Tow hook question
Were the factory tows hooks that were installed on 73 chevy trucks the same hooks that were used in 72 or are they a little different? If they are the same what year did they change them? I had a guy tell me he saw a set of hooks on a 73 4x4 that looked like the 72's and they were supposed to be factory. Anybody know for sure?

Re: Tow hook question
The simple answer is they are diffrent. But someone on this forum said he got a set of '72 off of a '73. Chevrolet never made anything simple so you'll never know what you will find.

Re: Tow hook question
^ What he said, GM never did many things that made sense, I would
want to see them if I were you, they might be legit, who knows, one thing that is certain, if they are 72 only they are worth some jack

Re: Tow hook question
D@mn GQ you're sitting on a small fortune in hooks, Id guess between 500-900 Jr bacon cheese burgers!! (Wendy's commercial, if you haven't seen it check it out!)
