Ford dealer. Check with y2kford a site sponsor here.

Or wait a couple months until I can afford my new front bumper and I will probably sell you mine.

I found these for '99-'05s. Maybe they would work for you or the company knows where to get them.

I'm pretty sure they are $67 for the pair because they say "tow hooks". Ebay does not always have great deals.

Yeah, the chrome hooks on my '06 with the chrome package are starting to rust where the loop of the hook comes together (the seam). Need to clean them up and apply some wax or something I suppose. But otherwise they look great.

Aren't chrome tow hooks dangerous? The chroming process causes embrittlement.

That's what I would think, but how many people do you think really use the tow hooks? OK there might be a few, but not the majority.

I bought chrome tow hooks off ebay. Had to mod them slightly to fit, but was not a problem. Looks great!!

Dangerous?? what? the chrome may crack if you hook a chain to it, but the tranny and motor will blow before you break one of these.

if ford puts the on their trucks with the chrome package, i would def trust them. they do have a rating. you need to find out what the rating is and hw its rated. i think the ones on my dodge are rated at 5500# each. oh, and i think chrome or not, the bolts would break or the frame would tear before the hooks would be torn apart.
