Mt local welding shop made me a thick steel bumper with integral receiver. It bolts to the frame where the stock bumper attaches (he beefed up the connection). The whole thing cost $150. >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.
