M38 Tow hitch plates

Post by chucks_toy » Sat Nov 04, 2017 6:25 am

Does anyone have the four adapter plates that are used to mount the WWII tow hitch on the M38? I have the tow hitch, but don't have the plates. Any help with this is appreciated. Also could use the wood block for the grill and the lunette. Thanks again.

Assume this is the front bumper adaptors for the WWII Tandem Hitch (Towbar).
