Abstract
A towbar receiving assembly for large trucks, particularly useful for cab-over-engine trucks and other trucks wherein a radiator assembly is positioned directly above a generally flat front bumper, blocking access from above to the space behind the bumper. A towbar pin is inserted from below upwardly into a tow eye box directly behind an opening in the bumper, through which a towbar eye is received and is engaged by the pin. Projecting tabs on the pin and complementarily-shaped slots in a vertical opening associated with the tow eye box provide for receipt of the pin in a particular rotational orientation, and risers or boss areas around the slots provide for the retention of the pin in a locked-in position following its insertion and rotation from the boss areas.
