    If you are going to tow anything even slightly heavy, you may want to invest in some air shocks too. Brakes are another consideration too. 4 wheel drums will fade fast when stopping a load.

    All the way through the 70's, everybody towed their camper or boat with a car. Now, at a boat ramp, only trucks are seen. At least here.

    Rock on!

    I have an original hitch that I took off of my '68 Wildcat convertible. I took a picture with my phone so I'll try and post it for you. It mounts to the frame in two places and in four places on the bumper. Two bolts on the bottom edge of the bumper and two on either side of the license plate frame at the bottom.

    Yes I'll post a picture when I'm able-I took it with my cell phone and the reception is weak where I'm at. I haven't been able to upload it to V-8, so I'll try again when I have a better signal on my phone.

    If you haven't already, consider an auxiliary transmission oil cooler.

    No I didn't forget. For some reason I can't get the photo from my phone to upload to the website. Not sure why- sorry.
