I have seriously contemplated getting a hitch for my 73. A buddy of mine DJs and his Toyota 4 Banger "Truck" can't pull the fully loaded trailer of DJ equipment. Might set up some sort of "I'll get your gear there, you do your gig."

On the other hand, buddy #2 that DJs makes enough DJing to pay for his [relatively] new Silverado.

Yes, Pictures Please!

Dad and I had a hitches on several C bodies and matter of fact i had one on my 70 Sat convert, and have one on my 70 RR now. Pulled just fine. The limitation is brakes depending on what kind of weight you are pulling. Had/have hemi springs on both B body cars. Air shocks on the convert. Pulled trailers with B bodies on trailers with B and C bodies and B bodies with B and C and bodies with tow bars which is no stress at all.

Highly recommend having trailer brakes if you have much weight at all to pull on a trailer and if you have any serious weight airbags vice air shocks .. learned my lesson both accounts believe you me.

Way back when I was drag racing (we had to shoo the dinosaurs off the track) I used to use C-Body Mopars to do all my towing. Never had any issues at all. Loaded trailer weight was just under 5K.

Back then, everybody used big sedans or station wagons. Trucks weren't as comfortable or had the power they do now.

Of course, everything else had to be right... Class III hitch with weight distribution bars, good trailer (I had a Bock Drag Star) good trailer brakes etc.

i think i need 1.25 bolt on adapters for the 17x8 bullits to work.anyone know?the front almost fit one side hits the steering arm the other side is to close and the back is close also but way in there so i think i need the 1.25 spacers because thats about how long the studs are think the studs are 1 inch but need 1.25 to get the backspacing close to 4.5
