I bought some after market tow hooks for my 87 K5; but the tow hooks come with two holes, and on the bottom of the k5, I only see one hole. I dont know if I should be drilling another hole, or just bolt one in and let it be. What do you guys think?
 
Drill the extra hole.

Yep, a set of factory tow hooks from a junkyard will bolt right into place. Think I paid about $5 for mine, bolts and all.

I drilled the other hole and it's plenty strong. I can take pics if you like......

Drill another hole...I had to do it...it's gives your hooks alot more ground to hold onto.
