Wasn't it Mr Whipple who said "Don't squeeze the Charmin?"
Sorry couldn't resist. I've got nothing funny to add.

I was going to say, is the Whipple tree where Charmin comes from?

Noun: whiffletree 'wiful`tree
1. A crossbar that is attached to the traces of a draft horse and to the vehicle or implement that the horse is pulling
Okay, I looked it up. Are you guys restoring military horse-drawn wagons?

LOL, No... A whiffle tree is a bar that attaches to the tow rings on a military vehicle so that the wrecker can lift it. Do a search and you can find pics.

Yep, just need a couple pins.. I could make them but just dont have time to mess with it right now. I hope someone out there has purchased a GL lot that had a bunch.. Or maybe a wrecker with a few extra rolling around the storage boxes..

Here is the previously mentioned Wiffle tree, Homemade style......I took two 1/2" THK. plates and cut em' out and welded the perimeters up as well as adding some plug welds on the reverse side. Lift shackles attaching tree to towbar are 1-1/8' Dia.
I have not observed any warping of the plate or excessive wear at the lift points. I'm sure that the type of steel used for HD pintle hitches would wear longer.
