Question Tow Hook closeup picture

If anyone has a picture of tow hooks on their truck close up, could they post them for me?

Also, does anyone know if 1981-1991 suburban tow hooks have the right bolt-hole spacing to work? There a guy locally who has a pair for $25 and I'm wondering it they'll work on my '67 GMC.

Thanks a bunch.

They are difinitely different, I just laid my 91 suburban tow hools over my 70 hooks and there's about 3/8's difference.

Not necessarily, if you really want them just enlarge the holes.

Looks like a lot of snow for California! I'm really just looking for how they bolt on and clear the bumper.
