I was given this item. Like a C-clamp but very heavy duty. With a long bolt that screws in to keep it lock closed so a chain could be run threw it.. ... I was told it was for putting a chain threw. But no other information on to where something like this would work for me are what on.....Just the chain goes threw it!
Can not post a pic or I would.

Sounds like you have a clevis. They where used for hooking up chains, plows and a lot of other things. They also work well for chaining down a tractor on a trailer so as not to hurt the paint job etc. I keep a bunch of them around and use them all the time. If it looks sort of like this that is what it is. A U that you slide a bolt into

There is no such thing as a dumb question!!

Going by your description I aoule agree with the earlier posts. You have a shackle type clevise.

Maybe just a heavy c-clamp. I use these to lift sheet of steel and castings.

I agree, he just described a clevis or shackle (as some folks around here call them). Comes in handy when connecting a chain to a drawbar & other items.

A clevis is used as a attaching device between a plow or implement and whatever is pulling it.A shackle is used in rigging for lifting.A clevis has a half twist incorporated and shackle is straight.Never tell a rigging instructor in a Nuclear Power Plant that you want a clevis to rig with.

Clevis was my guess too, but you beat me to the post. There are many sizes and styles. Usually they are used with chains or drawn equipment.

Possibly an attachment for a frame rack for straightening frames and doing other pulls on damaged cars & pickups.
