Default Tow Bar

Does anyone know if the M818 came with a Tow Bar as standard equipment? Just trying to find out as I am wanting to buy an M818 and I also need a Tow Bar. If they did not come with one, I will start looking now to buy the Tow Bar while I am waiting to find the M818.

Towbars were BII on wreckers only and also part of a #7 kit.

On my 818's ive always used 2 blocks of wood, laid the tow bar along the bar in front of the spare tire/trailer air lines/tool box on the 2 blocks, strapped it down and used a chain and lock to prevent theft. Ill snap a picture when I can , Jay
