Does anybody know if the front Tow Hooks option ever came in chrome?
Or was it only available painted black?

Not to my knowledge or experiences. You could only get tow hooks with a painted bumper and not with the chrome bumper. Most the ones I have seen have actually been painted white or surface rusted iron oxide red. Were they painted black originally??

No factory chrome.They had what the frame had...

OK Thanks guys. That's what I was my guess too.
I bought a set of the major curls for my 72' and I'm toying with the idea of chroming them.
Thanks

Were they from Boss? I know he had to sell his ;)

would chroming them raise or lower their value? I wish I had grabbed every pair i have seen over the last 35 years, probably could have retired by now

Yup, they were from boss. I dont know if that would hurt the value or not.
I'm going to install them (in black) and see how I like them.

Had mine powdercoated Black :D

(Flash makes them look greyish)

Hey, those look great. That's a great way to go as well. Thanks for the picture.

I've heard chrome plating weakens parts under cyclic loading. Probably not enough to matter here...
