Looks Great. Thanks! Is the square bar that goes between the shackles still there? The pintle mount bolts to it on the bottom

In the tm9-2320-289-20.pdf http://www.the-greenes.net/cucv/tm9-2320-289-20.pdf on page 158 or 3-25 I see that the support bar that goes between the two shackle mounts has two bold holes in it. If a hitch was mounted to the bumper and the mount bolts went through the bumper and that cross bar...

Do you still have it? Can you grab a tape measure and get the length of the flat plate?
