Cleaned up the shop and my hazardous oil spill area. Also decided to trial fit the hitch I got. Its a pretty hefty DrawTite, paid $3 for it at a yard sale last summer. It is supposed to bolt to the bottom of the frame but tank bolts are in the way for 4 of the 6 locations. Rear most works with a spacer. I made up templates and will add some flat stock to the sides and bolt thru the frame eliminating the bottom points. The receiver tucks right up under the bumper and the main part is up tight against the frame so there is little to get in the way.

UPdate: got it welded up, painted and installed. Looks just like the photo except the cardboard is steel. I changed the front one to a square and made it deeper to get more weld area.
