Found 72 Extreme Tow Hooks---on a Ford!!!
Saw these under the winch bumper of this Ford waiting at a red light on a busy cross street as I blew by.
 Turned a "U" and chased him down several miles later. His dad bought the truck new in 72 or 73, used it for logging until four years ago when he had it painted. I told him I wanted some original hooks for my little 4x4 Chev. He was sure they came from Tractor Supply or some farm store and figured he could find out and I should be able to get some "for about $25"...I offered him $100-$150-$200.  He said his father doesn't need the money, so that probably was the end of that. He lives about 100 miles from here, so I am sure that Ford will always be running Chevy tow hooks...I tried!

Re: Found 72 Extreme Tow Hooks---on a Ford!!!
Not long ago i saw a single 67-68 tow hook on the back of a school district ford pickup. I am surprised he didn't bite on your offer. Maybe it was sentimental since his dad bought it new...

At least they were on a classic truck and not a new Explorer.
