Show us your tow hitches, hidden, removable etc please.
Hi guys,
I am busy building a removable tow hitch for my truck. I am fitting a 67-72 rear bumper on home made brackets. I have not seen any examples of removable tow hitches when looking at pics, as we mostly photograph from the front So if you have a photo of your truck with one of these fitted, showing position relative to the rear bed edge, regardless of which deluxe bumper you have, please post up. Thank you. This is how far I have got. While cleaning and clearing the garage, I did discover a set of towbar mounting plates, and they are smaller and fit differently to the ones I had planned to use. The smaller brackets pull the cross bar upward and can be fitted closer to the bed as well. I started to cut the pieces to prepare them for welding up etc, then realized I really need the new bumper to get it all right. So now I have to wait for my spares I ordered last year to get here by container.

This is the hitch my dad had made for our 65 Sub back in the 70's. I don't use it to pull much now, but use it as a step sometimes to dry off the roof after washing "The Beast"
