49-51 wagon hitch

Is there anyone on here that’s put a hitch on a shoebox Woodie? I can’t find any examples and I’m just looking for ideas
It’ll just be to pull a small wood boat so about 700lbs max I think

Re: 51 overdrive

My 50 came with the overdrive so it’d definitely be hard to live without, it still has the relay and wiring intact, have a new kick down switch already too

Do you now if the crossmembers are the same?, is there any benefit to having a 51 and up transmission? all it says in the service manual is that the gears are different

Shoebox heater control valve

I know shoebox central lists a rebuild service for them but I’m up in Canada so it complicates that a bit
