I put an add up on craigslist Took me 5 months to find em' but well worth it. They only set me back $25
Good call. The '81-up ones are just not the same ... and the cheapo aftermarket ones are flimsier. Those things are just beef 
Though when you buy/build a real bumper you'll want real shackle, so the straps can't fall off, but more than once I have applied much force to seemingly immovable objects with those tow hooks

well tommorow at school I am gonna tighten em up with the impact so ya. I am too lazy to Air up my compresser. I figures with my tires and if i go off road I need a tow point
Eh?
Oh, no, I just meant the straps fall off the hooks 'cuz they're open-ended, as opposed to a real shackle that's closed.
I had a set of those tow hooks on my '74 and later on my '77, did just fine.

I think a little quick thinking , some on hand junk metal , and a little paint , can produce a little springy clip to keep the straps on there .
First and foremost the Blazer was designed as a utility vehicle, farm implement, and general all-around handymobile.
