Well by gosh and begorra, Welcome to the Outfit!
Be sure to download the TM's (Technical Manuals) for your new-to-you truck. There is lots of information and even some step by step troubleshooting in those crusty, boring old books. Maybe bathroom reading or something to put you to sleep...

And to echo what @cucvmule already said - Welcome to the outfit!
Congratulations on the new-to-you truck too.

Another idea - rather than spending $37.10 plus shipping is to get a piece of square steel OR a square socket that fits the hole. The square steel can be bent to that "L" shape so you have one in your truck.
The Parts TM is here for download (free) and the part in question shows up on PDF...

On what kind of truck? M107x or M108x? I have one mounted on my M1088 on the drivers side and a small tool box too. Since the ladder on my particular truck is on the right and I have to climb up to the center of the truck - the mounting doesn't get in the way.
Somewhat crummy picture in...

Well, with that accomplishment - nobody can say that you were out in left field with the sun in your eyes.
Now at least you won't have the sun in your eyes anyhow :cool:

Here in the city there is an independent trailer company that rents just about any kind of trailer you might want. Car Haulers, Horse Haulers, Race Car Haulers, and Cargo Trailers. These folks build custom trailers and they keep a small fleet to rent.
Chances are that you might find a place...
