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
