C20 tow hooks

Has anyone seen tow hooks on original 2wd trucks?
I have a C20 with tow hook listed on SPID. Can’t say as I’ve seen another

Re: C20 tow hooks

I have seen it a few times also. I just bought this truck, but the hooks were gone already.
(Edit)I see you asked about c-20s, but this is a c-10 swb.

That’s even more amazing to me to have them on a 1/2 ton! I guess you could check the box on any model. Cool

Lightbulb Re: C20 tow hooks

Up to 1971, the tow hooks were not available on any truck with a chromed front bumper. My dad tried to order them on my 1970 Blazer with CST package, and the dealer ended up installing some very heavy duty aftermarket hooks instead.

Re: C20 tow hooks

I never knew that. I wonder what the reasoning was. It’s not like the bumpers are physically different.
