Pete, those bolt heads appear to be different from each other.

Keith Seymore, is it possible the paint is an inspection confirmation like some of the marks of paint on other assemblies?
Agree on both. I was also wondering about the bolts and hope to see a pic of the SPID. It’s possible the hooks were add ons from another truck.

Looks like it to me. Seems to be an original, unmolested K10 with the tow hooks RPO called out on the SPID.

Any pics of the factory Bolts used? are they a shouldered bolt?

The subject of OE bolts became a topic in the below linked tow hook F/S thread from last year, there were some good bolt pictures added to check out. Mel :chevy:

Sure does seem like a pretty convincing pattern to me.

Maybe if the bumper was white these were painted to match? Which would be the case for all pre-72 model year examples.

A set of 60-68 hooks that also were white. These came from a 68 farm truck in Nebraska. I dipped 1/2 of this one in muriatic acid to remove the rust. The paint sloughed off pretty easily afterwards.

Can't verify if original paint or not. Saw this from the road on a recent roadtrip.

Good deal. Thanks for posting. That's a nice looking truck.

Most of the hooks that I’ve acquired over the years have had white paint on them as well. Seems like a line where the bumper is is always a paint break on the hooks, in other words the hooks don’t seem to have solid white paint on the entire hook

That thought crossed my mind but I convinced myself it was an illusion. Delusional apparently:)

Haha, that's funny. My late uncle used to call that an optical delusion.
