Installing new tow bar hitch!

[1942cowdodge]

Well I got a supper deal on a tow bar hitch set up from our local junk yard and should have it installed by this comming weekend. As you guys know I was going to tow my vintage trailer with one of my two bumper hitches but thinking it over I was not sure that would be the way to go. My main reason where in the world would I get another bumper from my old Dodge and in that the story would be told. So for 25 dollars I got a hitch out a Ford Chateau van and cut it up like a turkey only taking oft the parts I need. Should be good and strong as its rated at 10,000 lbs!!!!!!! Got a buddy all lined up to weld up my new creation and then give that little trailer a little pull. Here is my new logo for my trailer and another friend painted this up for me! It will go on one of the wings on the trailer itself. I think its kind of cool-JON:cool:

too cool! I just did the same thing to my 49 Plymouth so I can pull my 1970 Shasta Compact trailer. We are going on a full weekend campout and Rod Run this weekend. Should be a great time. I test pulled the trailer last night and it worked great.

did the same thing...! i sliced up a hitch and re-welded new ends and fitted it to my '41 coupe..nice unit...i also bolted it to the center bumper guard bolt hole (standard ON 41'S).

i put pics of the process on previous threads here last fall, and also last month there was some referral.

good to go!!

I like the logo. It looks like it will go well on the trailer. Good luck with the trip!
