Default Re: Trailer hitch

Frankly, I don't trust any new trailer hitch for vintage cars. The Quality is so poor with just about everything these days.

Your best bet is to take it to a shop that specializes in trailer hitches. They will fabricate one for just you and your car...no universal non-sense. But, yes, you will spend a bit of your lunch money there.

Just for kicks, here is the trailer hitch that is mounted on my 1930 pickup. The hitch main structure reaches all the way under the back of the bed and anchors at the rear spring-to-frame mounting point. I have heard of two other circa 1930 hitches like this, but I have never seen another one. I'll bet it towed a trailer many miles, and its still on there just fine.
