**68Custom** · 03-26-2003, 12:42 AM

Hey i found a set of tow hooks today that i was thinking about removing off a truck and was wondering what something like that would usually run on here. Any ideas?!? Thanks for the help!

I am sure you could get at least $20.00

*dtlilly* · 03-26-2003, 02:53 AM

I might be willing to go as much as $35, if they are 67-68 or 69-72 style. Plus shipping of course.

68 Suburban · 03-26-2003, 07:52 AM

$150 +

teeitup · 03-26-2003, 09:14 AM

Aaron, what year they off of, if a 72 I'd give you $150 for them. Randy

Tynee · 03-26-2003, 10:04 AM

I've seen them go as high as $175 plus shipping, but that seems to be a bit excessive.

teeitup · 03-26-2003, 02:07 PM

They used to go for a $100 a pair to Jerry. I sold a set 3 months ago for $150, I've only seen one pair go for more than that. But they may be going higher now but $150 is my offer. Thanks Randy

I'm new at the Chevy truck game, but what do we look for to see if the hooks are original? Can anyone post a picture? It seems they are quite rare if they are bringing that kind of money... Thanks!

Use the wonderful search feature of the board... enter tow hooks on the words to search for space and you'll probably get 150 posts with pictures of tow hooks.... It been asked for many times.

Chris Lott · 03-26-2003, 08:41 PM

Thanks Rod, that's what I figured. Probably one of those questions that comes up every other week and y'all get tired of answering them...

Time to do some research....

Rod · 03-26-2003, 09:09 PM

Ya maybe that came off a little harsh ... but it gets asked pretty much about anything thats been posted 100 times... I've been here since well....... the beginning... like over 5 years now.
By the way welcome to the boards, I see you kinda new.. if I didnt already say so in one of your first posts.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-26-2003, 09:21 PM

Do the hook's look like this???

Chris Lott · 03-26-2003, 09:46 PM

Rod, No problem man. Actually I am glad you brought it to my attention because there was a lot out there already. This is the post I found to be most helpful with tow hooks: Tow Hook Thread . It seems there are 4 or more different types, and I guess they all have spefic applications (year, model, etc)? I'll keep my eye out around here and see if I can't find anything interesting. We have a lot of the old trucks running around, if only we had a few more K5s... Well, the right one will come along eventually.

Rod · 03-27-2003, 01:19 PM

FrenchBlue72 those look like the correct tow hooks... I have seen that type on a 72.... the 2 hooks each bend the same direction on that type.
