[too much stuff]

Look VERY similar to the 73-80 style tow hooks seen on the square body trucks except for the odd curvature at the mounting end. Lower portion is identical to the curvature of the 73-80 hook end. One hook is marked "14029217" and I presume a left hook with the PN ending in an odd number. The other two are marked "14029218", one having additional numbers of 468, the other does not. The 14029217 hook has additional numbers of 400. ALL have the letter "U" clearly marked on the shank. 5/8'' diameter mounting holes, holes are 3 3/8" at center to center, shank is 1'' in thickness. Each weighs a hefty 4 1/2 lbs per.

Was doing a search for these thru the board and landed on this thread. Perfect place to post these and hopefully someone has some info concerning them. Was going to post on the WIW board for a future SALE thread but thought this would be a better place for posting.

A Google search turned up NADA for pics or info on these.

Pretty sure those are the late 70s heavy duty gm option. No sure how many years they were used, but i think they were like a one ton application. Check with trevor from KS. (drawing a blank on his board name) Or ask on the 73-87 side. I may need a single, but can't remember which side if they come up for sale...
