Default Blue Ox Base Plate

A bit of bad luck necessitates the need for a used blue ox base plate.
I have been suckered again. After minor repairs to my '99 Oldsmobile with 76,000 miles, the independent mechanic left off the pick up tube in the oil pan. The lifters went down but it still ran, very badly. This person (that I would not call a mechanic) thinking it was electrical, ran the engine until it locked up. The mechanic was young, has a new borne son, no insurence, no money, just starting out in life. I could not bring myself to pursuing reimbersment from this pereson. To make a long story short . after two more mechanics and an engine replacement, the car still was not right. After more than $2,000.00 and in frustration, I unloaded it on a local wholesaler. This leaves me with a 1998 Ford Explorer, and a 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis. As much as I would like to tow my Merqury, the cost of the driveline disconnect makes the Explorer the better choice. So the Ford dealer is installing the neutral tow kit now. I have been online for days looking for a used blue ox base plate to install myself. If anyone has an idea as to where to look I would appreciate any help you can give.
