Thanks Russ! 3/16" angle and 11 gauge 1x2" tubing should be plenty.

Wow, long time no update. Pickup just keeps doing it's thing, definitely not enough, however. Didn't put a ton of miles on it in '23 or '24. Even considered selling at one point...still might, but the sentimental part of me takes issue I guess.

My oldest son (#3 out of 4) took his senior pictures with Francis last Fall, all "cleaned up" for the occasion:

Well I think you need him as part of your car show presentation, where you tow in the next project and leave it hooked up.

Not a bad idea...I'm pretty well done power parking at this point, however.

I'll still go to a cruise night occasionally, but got burned out on the car shows.
