Re: Hidden Hitch for 73-87's?

I would need something strong enough to handle my 30' travel trailer that weighs close to 9k loaded (7k dry according to the specs).
In that case, I would search CURT hitches. Their CLASSV hitches come in different configurations. One such configuration that I know of is a modular set-up where the center portion of the hitch where the receiver is bolts to the frame flanges. This would allow you to make your own frame pieces to position the center portion/receiver where you want/need it.

Not easy but do-able. This is the approach I'm going to try when building the hidden hitch for my 99. For now its just bolted in as CURT intended so I can use it. When the opportunity comes, I'll fab my own frame brackets.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
