I'm pretty sure the three hole hooks were an option for the early 60's trucks (60-66) but may have been for the late 60's as well. Someone else who knows more than me should chime in.

Those three hole hooks from what I have heard are rear tow hooks, sold out of the GM catalog back in the day. John

Wow, the OP's hooks even have the Cleveland hardware mark on them.

Many of the GM accessories were products available elsewhere,just packed for GM with GM part#s. Those 3-holers appear to be an example of that. Cleveland Hardware most likely made the GM accessory hooks,just like Ventshade made the door window visors
