I agree, the picture does not show all the parts, but the seller says everything is there but the hitch bar....Doesn't look to me like many if any changes have been made to the parts I see, with the exception of color. $100.00 is a great deal on the hitch bar, hopefully all you need is the straight bar.

Try and print this to take with you when you go, so you can make sure you are getting all the major parts.

Pro-Pride also has offered their modified adjustable "stinger" for sale for the Hensley Arrow. It cost more than the one piece Hensley stinger but never needs to be exchanged for different off-sets upon resale, TT or TV swap. The shipping alone on each Hensley exchange is about $40-80, providing all these hitch manufacturers, such as Hensley, stay in business.

Got a few more minutes to post here.
Correct link for Hensley: Hensley
Hensley Arrow Installation and Operation Manual (From their Resources page.)
Link for ProPride. There is also a Forum link available on the site with much more info.
Picture of the adjustable stinger similar to standard type adjustable hitches. It was once available in a modified version to expressly fit Hensley. If interested, call Sean Woodruff and see if he still has some available.

That's the information you need - I was going to give it to you if no one else did.
Download the owner's manual linked above and read it over well before you go. Figure out how it all works and you will be able to tell if everything is there when you pick it up. And yes - Sean has told me ProPride will provide stingers for Hensley hitches.
Here are a couple of links to people who documented their installation so you can get more familiar:

The Over center latches are damaged. Left broken at the back weld and the bent~.5" upward and slightly inward.
Right is slightly bent .25"............
I had my GF pic it up 12hrs away.........He says well you can bring it back, or they just help hold the hitch bar in place....
Someone had to of dropped it off the truck with out the jack down............

The latches secure the hitch bar in place so they are very critical. New ones are available from Hensley. I recall that they are not that expensive. I think you are at a point where reading the online Hensley manual would be very helpful.
What did you decide to do for the hitch bar?

ordered new OCL latches...80 shipped. !
Hitch bar I found a guy that had a new one that would not fit, he had to get a drop down tpye and didn't need the org so he sold to me 120 shipped !
Every thing else on the thing looks really good. No wear on any thing but where it sit on ground during installation and such...
