Mac, I had one hook like those. Was told they were '67-'68 and that the style changed in '69. Wouldn't bet the farm on it but it came from a fellow that sure knew alot about trucks! Good Luck.

Sorry to confirm but those aren't truck hooks. They look like bus hooks to me too. I like them though. I have a set of those on my 68.

Bus hooks. Breeh, did you have to drill new holes in your frame to mount them?

MAC67 · 03-29-2004, 12:00 AM

so they probably aint worth spit are they /

breeh · 03-29-2004, 01:01 AM

I did have to drill holes in the frame for them. As far as not being worth spit, they work great, they aren't too large for the application as the correct ones are IMHO, and they aren't so expensive that you wouldn't want to use them anyway. Sorry if I PO'd any die hard factory tow hook fans!
