[hgs_notes]

I forgot something from my last post. I have a hitch that I used to have on my C-10, but will no longer use. At the time I bought it, you could not find the correct one for these trucks, so I bought a 73 and up hitch and modified it. If you take the side pieces and swap them so the top plate is bent inwards rather than outwards, it almost fits, but there is a gap. So I had 1/2" plate cut to size to use as a spacer and had holes drilled to match the hitch bolts. It worked perfectly for the truck. Not so much for the Jimmy. I'll have to make some holes in the Jimmy frame for it to bolt in, but it will really strengthen the rear end of the frame. It's about 1/4" plate. It will act as an added rear crossmember, and I might be able to use it as a base to bolt a home made gas tank skid plate onto. You can see in the pics it lines up on the frame perfectly and will cover most of the sides of a gas tank as is. I already checked the bumper fit and should be ok there as well.

Got the parking brake cables ordered from LMC, $50 for the pair.
