I have a basic U-haul tow bar. I have apparently lost the hardware that attaches to the bumper.

If someone has that lying around and would perhaps be interested in something from my GMC parts mobile. Se previous posts for what's still available.

Ah...what hardware? Most of those used rubber pads that rested on the bumper and chains that when tightened up drew the tow bar up tight to the bumper...What specifically do you need? I have 30 yr old U-haul bar that hasn't been use for 25 yrs. Maybe I can help.

I realized after I posted that I was not very clear.

This is a tow bar with hardware that bolts permanently to the toad.

The missing hardware consists of two metal plates with metal plates sticking out that have half inch holes into which two pins pass to connect the tow bar to the car. The pins go horizontally to allow the tow bar to move up and down.

thanks

Dave:

The plates for the Toad are usually specific to the make, model& year of the Toad.

The monthly magazine from FMCA usually has classified ads from RVers wanting to sell various attachements for tow bars. You may want to check it out.
