Need 2 Tow Shackles - Where to Buy?

[1stgear]

I need 2 tow shackles for my rear bumper. I have tried eBay and keep getting outbid. I don't care about getting originals - I just want to replace the ones that are missing. Where can I pick 2 of these up? What's the size I should buy (shackle size at the top and pin size)?

I was looking at these on the Summit Racing site. Would they work?

Any implement dealer, John Deere, etc. should have something close.

Any shackle that is close to the right size with a 1-inch pin will be around $35 each new. The last set I watched on eBay went for $35 for the pair.

The most important measurement is between the ends. It has to fit over the mount that sticks out of the bumpers. I can't remember right now what that measurment is, but it's around 1.75". The Summit shackles don't even tell you what that measurement, but it looks a little too narrow, given that it's a 3/4" pin in the picture.

My advice is to bid higher...

Origionals can be bought at CSI relatively cheap. They don't export much CUCV stuff.

Do a search, and you will find all sorts of pic's and contact info. Just a heads up, you will do much, much better going and getting it yourself vice having them remove it and ship.
