I've done some searching with no luck. I am looking for a trailer hitch for a 55 1st series. Any ideas?

Frame is 34" wide so anything up into the 80's should work. Most bolt to the bottom of the frame but can be modified for side mount to fit around rear tanks. Its a 59 but here is my $3 yard sale find. Fits right under the stock bumper. This is the mockup I haven't taken any photos of the finished install, I made the cardboard brackets larger to get more weld area on the hitch. Its a Draw-Tite brand.
