And to think a few years back I used to laugh when I would see Jerry Moss pay $100 for them!

It`s getting ironic.Whatever truck is worthy of $590 tow hooks would most likely never be used off-road,or at least not to where they`d get stuck and need to be pulled out with the hooks..."NO!!!Don`t put the chain there!! Hook it to the frame or bumper,for cryin`out loud!!

thinking I need some scrap iron ,a mold and a hot fire .

i could say grandpa won these hooks in a card game but never put then on his truck or while out looking for that redheaded wood pecker i found a bucket full of old truck hooks which sounds best on ebay ???

Make sure they`re counterfitted with the proper GM part#.

need to take out a seperate insurance rider for the hooks.

Supply and demand I guess.:rolleyes:

In that case anyone want to buy mine from my 70 so I can get a new engine? LOL someone reallllllly wanted those hooks. Another case of bidding wars on e-bay.

Man that's DOUBLE what I paid for mine, and my wife was B!tch'n about that :crazy:

*Mine have been sandblasted twice, acid dipped, and then powdercoated
so that mens I should be able to get at least $1K out of mine right ?:haha:

Outta control...:crazy:

I'm thinking of going in the green sand cast business.

Somebody is already thinking ahead of you, look over on the message board :hm:

Id make sure those were welded on if they were on my truck...

are these really rare? Whats the deal?

:agree: At least weld the nut so it would need to be ground off.
Did that very thing to my winch bolts.

SOLD!!!Check shipping AND insurance to 21771.

wow, at those prices I'm sure we'll be seeing repro's pretty soon. $4 of iron, $20 of time and materials -- yep, I like that math!

Holy crap, I've got two sets. Think I could pay for my bumpers with those?

I'm sure now that we'll be seeing more hooks on ebay, there's another set of
'72 hooks starting at $290 :)

Correction, there are 3 Sets !!!

It's already started!!! (running into the night screaming)

I bought a used winch & bumper for $600.

See, I'm not a theif (In fact, I'm quite pissed that some asshole just stole my receiver hitch and a brand new 2 5/16" ball off my buddies truck) but I understand all too well that someone who wants something bad enough will get it.

Truth betold, when factory tow hooks get $590 a pair, some theif is going to realize that the price of a small Oxy/Acetyl setup and tanks is chump change when you could get more than half a grand for what you can cut off a truck in less than a minute. Thieves will get what they want if they want it bad enough, and it doesn't take much to take off tow hooks. A small weld bead might slow someone down but for a determined person, probably not very long.

I drive old ****, and have for a quite a while. I think a better defense against thieves is to pay $20 for a pair of new, painted or chrome napa tow hooks, and to only put the $590 pair on for car shows where some vintage freak might actually notice the difference :crazy:

I take PAYPAL :lol:

Some people just have to win!!!!! E-BAY is kinda like gambeling for some people they just have to win and therefore we see these high prices for items we know are bought elsewhere or with pateience on e-bay for far cheaper $$$$$

I want to buy some for $800,please?

I think LUV is selling a set for a Grand, only high dollar stuff around here! :lol:
