1966: Tow hook option V76 not available with chrome bumper?!

[1966 K10]

Interesting info so I brought it over here for those who dont FB.

When looking for tow hook location info Jon finds that the 1966 Data Book states "Not available with chrome bumper"


Anybody have an idea why it would conflict? Cutting the notch in the bumper was brought up which makes sense. Cutting after the chroming process would lead to rust/flaking.

Anyone out there have an original 63/64/65 with chrome bumpers and factory/dealer hooks?

My personal dilemma now iis if I should put the hooks on at all if it was never available for Z61/Z62 equipped trucks. I know I will use them as the burb is going back into service on the ranch along side the 41 9N but still torn.
