Great Day!! Junk Yard + $10 = tow hooks
 What an afternoon. Spent 30 minutes at the junk yard. Found a 71 Suburban with original tow hooks. Asked the guy what he wanted - $10!!! I always wanted a pair of these for my truck but didn't want to give the $200 or so for a pair. Wish everyday was like this! Shawn

I assume you are asking where on the truck. There are front and rear tow hooks. Both sets are fairly rare, if you do a search on the board you can find some pics. They are bolted to the frame.

If I remember right it was 15/16, and the top bolts on both were cake but the bottoms were a pain. We used a breaker bar and a heavy foot
