The ones linked are for the back, not 100% on if they are the real deal.

I think the rear hooks have 3 mounts. The ones in the auction look like the ones that mount on top of the frame on the 40-60 series or under the back of buses. Quite plentiful compared to the correct pickup tow hooks.

No, those are not rear or front hooks for our years of trucks, as Eric said they are most likely a generic hook used on a lot of the bigger trucks and buses. I have been seeing a lot of different hooks on Ebay bringing pretty good amounts just because they are listed as 67 to 72 Chevy truck hooks.
The reference pic above shows all the front hooks for our trucks and heres a pic of the accessory rear hooks.

I would only pay alot for a rare part if I knew what I was doing.

They should paint those and buy 4 nuts,bolts,and washers.They can get $122.50.Those look the same as those on Ebay that we established aren`t the GM 3-pt rear hooks.
