removing these tow hooks (pics included)
I'm trying to remove these tow hooks so I can install a grille guard..
Thing is I am unsure which of these three bolts goto the tow hooks. I'm unsure since most tow hooks have a single bar with two bolts coming down out of the frame.
This one seems to curve the hooks downward then they come out and I can't really see the housing for the hooks to tell which bolts secure it.
If what I am seeing here is right, then all three of these bolts should connect to the tow hooks
The normal silverado tow hooks do not have this design, they have a flat bar with two holes that hold the hooks up to the frame by two bolts.
You'll notice the flat bar and no downward curvature to the hooks.

you are working with two different generation's of chevy tow hook's.
the first one's are 99-001 new body style ,the last one's 77-99 old body style
the first have either 1 through bolt and one end bolt to keep it from rotating , and or depending on year and 1/2 or 3/4 ton 2 separate side bolt's . the older only uses two side bolt's.
