to hook or not to hook?
hey guys, small poll here.
My truck came with these cool tie down hooks on it. Obviously, these are not factory original equipment, but they are as old as the truck. (I think they are actually cast) Do you guys think they would add to the look, or detract from it? My wife likes them, but I am more concerned about smacking my hand on them when I wash the truck. |

Re: to hook or not to hook?
My truck had 3 on each side, I used them all the time. I am going to mount them on the inside on the stake pockets, also some others down lower near the bed floor.

Re: to hook or not to hook?
I like them a lot. I vote use 'em. To me they look 'period correct' and tie down points are always a good thing to have.
