Trunnion bar questions??

I recently purchased a 1969 Overlander that I plan on towing with a 2006 Ford f-250 power stroke diesel. The trailer came with tunnion bars, chains and the frame mounts on the trailer, but no receiver. I'm having difficulty finding a reciever for the setup. Would it benifit me to use this setup if I can find a reciever?

Yes, it would.

give us a picture of the w/d bars and maybe we can identify what the manufacturer of the hitch is and give you a recommendation what you can advertise for in your local source or in the classifieds here. it is likely a reese or equalizer from the predominance of these brands.

Check with a Trucks & Trailers place. They usually have setups of all kinds or at least can tell you where to locate one.

Reese?

I believe that are reese trunnion bars, I hope they are because I have been able to locate a new reciever for them!
