What do y’all think? At first I wanted to say no, but I will say that the mounting points do look stronger than the other 81-87 hooks I’ve seen. Maybe he’s on to something. Or just on something.

399.00!? What is this dude on!? Lol

Never heard of that but i think all the ones on the trucks Ive had were round all the way up. So maybe hes right? Maybe I can take my round ones and grind them square and sell them for 399?

I have a pair, but I thought they were for the earlier trucks (73-80) ?
They bolt on to the side of the frame rail.

Iirc, those are the factory hooks for '73-'80. Pretty sure that's what mine look like.

That's good for a laugh anyway.

I just hate when people think they have something rare and have to make a huge deal about it. Then try and sell it for stupid money, grinds my gears

They are a bit hard to find now. I've seen them sell other places for stupid money. Just not THAT stupid, lol.

Wow, if someone buys those for that much then I need to blast and powder coat the set I have and put them on ebay for even more!!!

They are built the same as the 73-80, but that generation of hooks was straight. Shaped like a candy cane. The ones posted are the correct shape for the 81-87 style, but they are definitely beefier built than the ones I’ve seen.

Maybe @Keith Seymore could throw an eyeball on this.

We've all looked at the RPOs for these trucks and I don't remember seeing a specific heavy-duty tow hook option. My guess is they're just from a different vendor.

RPO code is V70

You're right, I didn't feel like going and looking in the dark and rainy weather.

Those do look like what's on my '88 Burb though.

I've looked at '81 and '85 - '86 and all I can find is V76 two front tow hooks. No mention of Heavy Duty vs. STD. Was it offered on something other than pickups and C&C's?

Edit, mine are cast differently but don't look any less beefy.
