The Chrome Plated Steel Tow Hooks part # 63029 are a universal fit item and we have not had the chance to test the fitment of these on a 1995 GMC K1500 yet. Most likely you will need to drill two holes in each side of the frame to attach the tow hook. The tow hook is 5-1/2" long x 1-14" wide and the bolt holes are spaced 1-1/2" apart on center with a 1/2" diameter. The overall height of the hook is 3" and the distance from the top hole closest to the end of the hook is 3-1/4". I have also attached two photos of these dimensions for you to determine if it will work for you.

An alternative method that will allow you to use a tow hook on the front of your vehicle would involve installing a front mounted trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65005 and then use the hitch receiver tube to mount a tow hook such as the MaxxTow Tow Hook for 2" Trailer Hitches part # MT70028.
