C-1 61 trailer hitch

[Jim K.]

Anyone know of a trailer hitch made for my 61? Hoping to find a bolt on rather than weld on. Thanks!!! Jim

OK Jim!

What wrong with you? Not a GM or NCRS factory option !! Bad Boy! Bad Boy! What are you going to pull?

Oh! Well I tried to warn you!
But having a machine shop make you one like I have on my 55 Corvette should pull most any thing. As you see it's simple using only two bolts that later if you wont can have closed. I think you can figure what to do , it's just an angle 3 face steel piece, add a receiver tube so that you can determine how long you wont the bar to be.
I added air shocks to help the rear springs out , they work great. Then had a bar designed to clear my body ( see second post & pic.)
So welcome to the driver-user club. It's more fun then an Army of judges!

If you ever decide you wont to stop faster , ask about my 55 Corvette with power brakes using you original system.

Roy,

Every time I see that picture of the hitch it looks like it could flex and bust up the rear. I know you've got plenty of miles on it but it looks scary.
