Incredibly lucky score...
I've been looking for tow hooks for a long time now. Whenever I came across any, they were way too rich for my blood. A friend of a friend told me that a farmer down the road from me has a bunch of old parts for old Chevy trucks. I went over and talked to him and he turned out to be a heck of a nice guy. He said he'd look around and see if he could dig some up. Last weekend I popped in again and there they were: 1972 extreme bend hooks. I asked him how much he'd need to get for him and he said "Nothing. They're just laying around here rusting so you can just have em".
I was gonna sandblast them and powder coat them but money's a little tight right now so I de-rusted them, shot them with Rustoleum Rust Reformer and gave a couple of coats of steel color paint. Got them mounted up today and couldn't be happier. Here they are: |
