[79vette]

Couldn't find a custom hitch place that was in the budget, so I just ended up building one. Total cost was $18 for the reciever tube and probably $15 in welding and torch consumables, and some random steel and bolts I had laying around. Plus the wiring and connector, which I would have had to buy regardless.

4" square by 0.25" tube. Cut a length of it in half with the torch to make the side brackets and welded it up. 3x 1/2" grade 8 bolts on each side. I would have preferred a 4th bolt on each side, but couldn't get it to package with the spring hangers and where the frame started angling up. I wasn't initially going to cut into the hitch tube for the wiring connector, but this is so overbuilt compared to my trailer (tandem 4k axles) that I don't think it will matter.

I got some 5/8" pins for the lunette ring on the trailer so it's now a 30 second, toolless operation to change the height to match the tow vehicle.
