I’m willing to bet that hooks on trucks with chrome front bumpers did NOT have white paint. Maybe the rule was white only if white bumper.

This is the $1 million dollar question and only applies to 72 models as this was the first and only year for factory installed hooks with a chrome bumper.

Note that post #1 shows white hooks with a chrome bumper on a 72 CST Blazer that was purchased new by the owner's father-in-law (it was repainted in another color) HERE. I took that photo in 2018 and tow hooks were listed on the SPID. I'd like to see more examples.
