You could get the Bus Depot monster hitch (which has a vertical mounting plate for a European-type ball) and have a receiver made up to bolt up to the plate. Somebody did that, I think they said it cost about $70 at the weldor's, plus about $150 for the hitch. I can forward you the various msgs pertaining, if you want. I have one of the hitches, it's a serious piece of work I gar-on-tee. Mounts into the frame rails in place of the existing bumper mounts. david David Beierl - dbeierl@ibm.net |
