Yeah! No kidding! Thankfully I have an 2wd.

*Medicanman71* · 02-12-2006, 09:41 PM

actually , the sad part is he probably DOES have a clue and knows exactly whats up..

**hilljob26** · 02-12-2006, 09:43 PM

do you guys not see that these are no where near factory

longnlow72 · 02-12-2006, 10:15 PM

i think its funny i doubt he will fool anyone tryin to sell those as original because anyone willing to pay over $500 probably knows the difference

ChevyCrazy67 · 02-12-2006, 10:19 PM

whats the deal with al the high dollar tow hooks lately. I think i could fabricate a set thats as factory as those and sell for half the price.

**Palf70Step** · 02-12-2006, 11:30 PM

Hmmmm JC Whitney....$12.00 each. They work, but like was said hopefully anyone willing to shell out that money will know they are not factory. They may have come off a 69, but JC Whitney was around then too.

junkyardjohn · 02-12-2006, 11:38 PM

WHO DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE??? THE GUY TRYING TO SELL HIS $20 TOW HOOKS FOR $500 , OR THE UHUM "PERSON" WILLING TO PAY $500 FOR A SET OF TOWHOOKS THAT ARE TOO EXPENSIVE TO SCRATCH BY USING THEM.

*Medicanman71* · 02-12-2006, 11:49 PM

thats my point junkyardjohn...

he's just trying to trick some poor fool.. hilljob we saw exactly what was going on...

8bolt · 02-12-2006, 11:53 PM

I'm going right down to my local parts store tomorrow and buy a set of chrome ones I should be able to get 700 or 800 for chrome.

**special-K** · 02-13-2006, 09:43 AM

I`m not an Ebayer.Someone needs to blow him out of the water.That`s effed-up.Seriously,someone ask him some "blunt" questions.

Dan72cst · 02-13-2006, 10:20 AM

In his defense.....and believe me I'm not defending him much, but those do look like the DEALER (Not Factory) but dealer installed hooks that came on my blazer.

I BET HE STILL GETS A PRETTY PENNY FOR THEM. AFTER ALL .. IF FACTORY OEM T/Hs ARE GOING FOR $500 , DEALER TOW HOOKS OUGHT TO BE WORTH 1/2 THAT.
NOT TO WORRY SPECIALK -- THE SELLER HAS EDITED HIS DESCRIPTION TO SHOW THAT THEY AREN'T FACTORY HOOKS.

nu2-72 · 02-13-2006, 04:22 PM

Dan72cst, what publication is that pic from?

A.P. · 02-13-2006, 04:58 PM

I have the same hooks on my truck and I got them from the wrecking yard. They cost me 4 bucks. If the hooks sell for $500, I will take a pic of my on the truck and sell them too.

Huskerboy2 · 02-13-2006, 06:03 PM

Somebody submitted an offer on them. It was declined. I wonder what the guy offered him. $10.

BLAZERMAN · 02-13-2006, 07:19 PM

Dang old tow hooks!! I put em on 2 of my trucks and it still seems like I'm tripping over them in the shop.

I wonder if that offer was mine. I offered $25 thinking that maybe the price was a mistake. I figured that had to be an error. Not that I needed them anyway!

WOW!!! THAT MUST BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF TOW HOOKS.

72armyswbtruck · 02-13-2006, 09:09 PM

After first reading this thread, I sent the guy a nasty email, he replied and then he edited the listing, still that amount of money for those is

IMO,

chipflyer · 02-13-2006, 09:15 PM

I have found this to be pretty interesting. I have a pair just like the ones he has listed that I removed from the front of a 67 chevy pickup. I always thought they didn't belong and sombody just put whatever they had on it but are they something that the dealer added? I would also like to know what publication the pictures came out of.

**PICKMUP** · 02-13-2006, 09:34 PM

Blazerman you must have photoshopped those...there can't be that many left in America!!!

**special-K** · 02-13-2006, 09:36 PM

Dealer installed,but generic.These are commonly called Jeep hooks.Dick Cepek sold them and about any other offroad or truck accessory supplier.Central Tractor and TSC have/had them,too.You could buy clips to keep the chain in when mounting on the bottom of the frame.
I always used to weld a 3/8" chain end hook to the truck for tugging.If the chain broke or you didn`t need all the length,you could just hook a link in it and pull.Worked better than those Jeep hooks.

mrein3 · 02-13-2006, 10:18 PM

I bolted a pair of them on my ice fishing house about 15 years ago. I think I shelled out a whopping $10 at Champion Auto.
