Question:
Bob sorry it took so long to get back to you. The 91 nissan pickup parts that I have taken pictures of are attached. I believe I have what I need except the frame horns. In the pics you see 2 cross bars on mine bolted together and I think the bar that fits the tow bar itself will bolt to the frame horns for the 97 Nissan. If not can you tell what i need as you mentioned car side adapters Thanks

If the tow bar you have is a Roadmaster tow bar or you have a cross bar adapter to Roadmaster base plates then, yes, the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit, item # 317-2, for your 1997 Nissan Pickup will work with it. You will most likely need a set of car side quick disconnects, item # RM-222, to connect the cross bar to the base plates, if you did not retain the car side brackets from your 1991 Nissan.
If you have a different brand of tow bar, and do not have a Roadmaster tow bar adapter, see link, let me know the brand of tow bar that you have and I will be glad to make a recommendation.
You will also need wiring for the pickup. I would recommend using the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit , item # RM-154, to install lighting from the tow vehicle to your 1997 Nissan Pickup.
