Free tow hooks

My 72 K20 came factory with tow hooks (in glove box) but weren't on the truck when I purchased it......well years have gone by not willing to pay the going rate for factory tow hooks I had just given up.

Well today it happened ....I was at the junk yard looking for a couple things for my '01 Silverado and in the back corner was this 71 custom 20. typical junkyard truck bed full of parts, this one was actually sitting on the ground as it had no wheels, no tailgate or grill but was pretty complete. I looked for tach/AC /throttle contol etc but just looked like another abandoned truck. it took me a while to realize it was a 4x4. The cab was full of garbage suit case etc and I didn't notice the high hump and transfer case shifter, but as I was walking away I noticed the front axle and convinced myself to go back and look for tow hooks. THERE THEY WERE both of them wow I couldn't believe it. I brought them up font and the guy laughed, he said wow I should charge you buy the pound...I smiled still wondering what I would have to pay. I asked what he wanted and he said....ready for this....he said aww just put a donation in the can...I said WHAT??? as I was looking at this coffee can on the counter that had some scribbling on it about christain kids or something. He repeated himself and said aww just put a donation in the can. I was speechless.... I actually through a twenty in there but still feel like I had him at gunpoint.
