John,

I just bought a Dennis Haynes hitch and will be installling it the firt
sof the week on my 88 GL, which has the fiberglas bumpers. I will take
pictures and send to you.

If you get a Haynes hitch I have one suggestion. Paint it yourself.
Dennis does a good job, and the hitch comes with a good paint job.
However, for my purposes - and I didn't think of it until after it was
shipped - I would like to have had it primed and painted with an epoxy
paint for rust protection and preservation. Dennis said he would be glad
to ship a hithc unpainted at your request.

Regards,

John Rodgers
88 GL driver
