Yeah,this info is from the dealer ordering book.It shows what options are required to get certain other options,what could be had with what,etc...
Just chrome the hooks so they`ll blend in with that bumper.

I'm thinkin' that would devalue the toehooks, I don't even want to paint them, as they have a certain patina on them. 35 years old and all....lol

Anyway, how do you put little rust pits in a new chrome job.

I guess anything`s possible.I didn`t see a posi option specified as an option.But,I`ve seen it listed on the VIN-spec.

TYVM, I guess I don't need mine for my CST anymore, better sell em

**Classic Heartbeat** · 04-18-2007, 06:03 PM

I have looked at and purchased more than one CST Blazer with a chrome front and rear bumpers with tow hooks. They were listed right on the option sheet also. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Mine is chrome front bumper and it came with factory tow hooks!!
Just that I lost them years ago!

**special-K** · 04-19-2007, 08:01 AM

I believe you guys.There were exceptions,I`m sure.But,I just thought I`d relay some GM info I came across.It`s their statement,not mine.It says tow hooks only available with painted bumpers and CSTs came with chrome.This would apply to other models w/chrome bumpers,too.
