Ok so I cant post two pics in one post.

Rod · 06-15-2002, 12:51 AM

69-72 style, not real sure what year they changed to this style.

davidson2100 · 06-15-2002, 09:23 AM

So are yours bent at the top like the one I posted on ebay?
Are they suppose to be bent?

Rod · 06-15-2002, 10:04 AM

Yes the are hooked off to one side... both styles are. The angle of the view in the ebay pic auction right now makes them look too bent in my opinion. but who knows.. thats a lot of metal to bend... could be done though. They are pretty thick.

What do they look like on the truck. I have a 67 and would like to see if someone has a pic of this application.

there are two styles of 69-72 hooks. the ones on ebay both point toward the passenger side of the truck and have an almost 90 degree bend on the tips. the other type have much less bend on the tips and point either at each other or away from each other depending on which way they are mounted. i run the larger bend hooks on my trucks but they seem to be harder to find than the other style. if anyone wants the ones on ebay they're gonna cost you, lol.

I'll have to take your word for it Jerry... never seen that type of bend on tow hooks. But I dont buy as many as you...lol.
