I have no idea where mine disappeared too, a lot of stuff is misplaced after we moved a couple months ago. Sorry.

I just send this to Josh, (Saltwaterdrinker) He said he'd look for his set. He'll let you know if he finds them.

Best bet would be a junkyard if no one here has them.
I was just gonna grab them from the dealership.... until I found out they are $59 each and I would still need to buy 4 bolts which were $5 each for the 2 small ones and $8 each for the large ones.

I know I want tow hooks.... but I dont $144 want them lol

They're ~112 a set from GMPD. They ain't cheap. Best bet is from a junkyard if no one here has them.

Thanks guys. Ive been through the ebay and dealership hoop but thought that used was my best bet like other said because of the high prices. And I figured with all the guys here with the steel bumpers may still have the stock hooks laying around. Ill be on the look out with the junk yards around here still but if anyone finds any please hit me up.

I found a guy in Gainesville with a totaled TB that has the hooks. I'm gonna go down there tomorrow and pull them off it. The bumper and grill are already gone so it shouldn't be too hard to get to them. Can anyone tell me what size the bolts are so I know exactly what tools I will need. I will bring lots of extra "just in case" tools as well but would like to know what side the bolts are so I can be prepared. Thanks guys!

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the long bumper bolts are 7/8th and the shorter bolts I think are the same, but I'm less sure about those.

I just went out and checked mine,. If they are still the stock sizes the large bolt should be 21mm and the small one should be 15mm.

A 7/8 socket works just fine on 21mm and I wanted to guess 15mm for the smaller one but was completely unsure and second guessed myself.
