Eric, You Are Da Man,!! Went to the 73-87 forum section and did a search for ''one ton tow hooks''. An older thread came up from 2013 for tow hook options on 81-87 trucks. Believe it was member KrazyLarry who posted a pic of those exact same hooks saying a friend of his pulled them from a one ton 4x4 at a salvage yard. Also mentioned they are rather extremely hard to find. Makes sense being for the one ton crowd as with a beefier frame and running gear combo it would make for a more extreme load pulling weight capability possible. They will be going to the 73-87 parts forum at some point. Check to see if you need a single left or right if you have an interest in such. Thanks for the search tip,
