Tow Hooks for x-mas, finally got em...

Here's the story...

I bought my 68 K-10 SWB fleetside this summer on ebay for $1600. After picking it up in NY from the original owners son I noticed that it had tow hooks on the glove box sticker. The original owner (deceased) was a small town mechanic and used the truck to tow or push vehicles home to work on. He had a custom steel push bumper made and mounted onto the front of the truck, removing the original bumper and tow hooks. The owners son found the tow hooks in his dads garage and said that he would mail them to me. That was 4 months ago... after bugging him every two weeks I finally find out that he powdercoated them and was going to send them to me. He started a coating business and I guess he used "my" hooks as a project. Now he wanted $60 for shipping and his powder coating costs....Not much that I could do if I really wanted them (of course they go for $150 - $250 for the pair). I finally got them in the mail today and they look nice, big too. I never realized the size of them.... Anyone have pics of 68 hooks mounted? Thanks...
