Rear Tow Hooks
Do rear tow hooks really exist as an option for these trucks, or are they an urban legend? If so, do they differ from the front tow hooks? Does anybody have a picture of rear tow hooks?

Those are rear tow hooks but I've only seen them installed on bigger trucks and buses.

Hmmm, interesting. I've never seen them before. I've heard talk of them and I've seen people describe what they look like. Thank Rod.

Someone posted a pair on here maybe 8 months or so ago. I believe it was a K20 suburban with front and rear hooks. At any rate, they are illustrated in the optional equipment section of my '69 GMC owners manual right next to the factory front tow hooks (look just like the ones Rod posted), so I guess they could be either factory or dealership add-on.
