72 tow hooks on ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

woodridge · 02-02-2006, 01:13 AM

Did anyone see the set of hooks that ended this afternoon on ebay? $590?

I'm almost tempted to sell mine, no, I think I'd better take them off and put them in a vault!

Blue4x4 · 02-02-2006, 01:28 AM

I pulled out at 305.00.

woodridge · 02-02-2006, 01:30 AM

I saw Teeitup in there too.

al's71gmc · 02-02-2006, 04:30 AM

So...those are the extreme bend ones? Obviously fairly rare. Can you use these hooks, or are they for show? Are they correct only for 72?

3qtrtontarrer · 02-02-2006, 07:14 AM

there just hooks what is so special about them.

*hoser* · 02-02-2006, 07:16 AM

Where is auction?

Now is the time to send a pair of them to china and have them duplicated then sell on ebay for 99.99 heh

3qtrtontarrer · 02-02-2006, 07:54 AM

i think ill become a blacksmith and make them, then put on ebay and get rich

**special-K** · 02-02-2006, 08:15 AM

I need to make mine lock somehow.Wouldn`t want to weld on them.

Luvlegs · 02-02-2006, 09:03 AM

anyone have a picture of these things actually on a truck - I am curious as to where they mount.... I have a 72 and have NO idea where they'd fit on....underneath?

THEY MUST BE FOR SHOW AL. IT'S KINDA HARD FOR ME TO PICTURE ME WRAPPING A LOG CHAIN AROUND A PAIR OF $600 TOW HOOKS. JOHN

Those things are getting so high, you would have to build a guard around them to protect them! The heck with a grill guard...save the hooks!

Bolt them in then weld the nut to the bolts you can grind the heads or
welded nuts off the bolt in the future if you want to remove them.

I guess they work on 2wd's, they only came on 4wd's IIRC,
they mount underneath, just behind the bumper, using a few
of the holes in the frame rails, I had a pic of this somewhere?

**BOSS** · 02-02-2006, 08:47 PM

if you can find a pic that would be nice,i am going to mount mine and hope to pull a ford with them some day.....lol

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-02-2006, 08:49 PM

Well I can go take a pic later on, I will bolt em up and snap a few, k

**BOSS** · 02-02-2006, 08:54 PM

jay_shy · 02-02-2006, 09:19 PM

lpaine · 02-02-2006, 10:05 PM

And here I went and traded my tow hooks for inner fenders, doooh! Shoulda kept' em. Dang.

That sharp GMC belongs to Sakohntr.

Here's the 72 style on my 68

69TowRig · 02-03-2006, 12:13 AM

Man, I like how those look. Dammit if they have to be so obscenely expensive now. I know that in a few years these trucks will be like the muscle cars are now. Getting "out of reach". Hell if the tow hooks go for that much, how much is the truck attached to them?

**special-K** · 02-03-2006, 08:23 AM

[QUOTE=BLAZERMAN]That sharp GMC belongs to Sakohntr.

Yeah,and I bought some hooks from him,not those

Truck Hippy · 02-03-2006, 07:08 PM

Hello everybody. I haven't posted in awhile but I saw the thread. The hooks on ebay were mine. I am selling my heap and took them off for a few extra bucks. I thought they would go for $250-300 but oh my. I was pulling up shrubs a month ago with them. At $590, they doubled the value of my truck.
