Keith Seymore, is it possible the paint is an inspection confirmation like some of the marks of paint on other assemblies?
Agree on both. I was also wondering about the bolts and hope to see a pic of the SPID. It’s possible the hooks were add ons from another truck.

The subject of OE bolts became a topic in the below linked tow hook F/S thread from last year, there were some good bolt pictures added to check out. Mel

Re: OEM tow hooks - originally painted white??

Maybe if the bumper was white these were painted to match? Which would be the case for all pre-72 model year examples.

Re: OEM tow hooks - originally painted white??

A set of 60-68 hooks that also were white. These came from a 68 farm truck in Nebraska. I dipped 1/2 of this one in muriatic acid to remove the rust. The paint sloughed off pretty easily afterwards.

Can't verify if original paint or not. Saw this from the road on a recent roadtrip.

Re: OEM tow hooks - originally painted white??

Most of the hooks that I’ve acquired over the years have had white paint on them as well. Seems like a line where the bumper is is always a paint break on the hooks, in other words the hooks don’t seem to have solid white paint on the entire hook
