Too much stuff posted a tow hook guide, I found it by using the search option for this site. The hooks he has pictured are curved different directions. Not sure, but I thought the only pair curved the same direction were the extreme bend.

Looks like you have a pair of RH (pass.) side 60-68's there. Interested, what are you wanting for them? :bowtie:

They came out originally one going one way the other going the other way. 72 only hooks go the same direction.

My set of 60-68 tow hooks bend in the same direction, too. I'll have to see which way they bend.

Re: Tow Hook Question For The experts
 
I have 2 "pairs" that bend the same way. I think some of the 2wd trucks that got a single hook may have all gotten the same one on the 69-72. Not sure if the older trucks got singles or not. It seems like any time you find a single hook, they always bend the same way. Like there was a surplus of one sided hooks. Any chance the part numbers are different? The older ones had a different number than the newer ones.

Looked last night and ours bend in the opposite direction of castiron9's. Wasn't there a thread at one time about the part # for tow hooks? I did a search, but I couldn't find it.
Ours:

Part numbers for the early ones. 596369-70
Later ones.3663349-50
It looks like left or right got the same part number. I am sure that is the -70 or -50. This is the 60-68 style hook numbers.
Loosescrews, if you want to sell one or both, or trade one, let me know. Eric
