Hello!
I am building a custom 53 Chevy 1/2 ton with modern 350 EFI and 4l60E trans.
The rear end is a GM 10 bolt w/ 3.73 ratio. I would like to use this truck
occasionally for towing. The most I plan to tow is a flat trailer for hauling
cars to/from shows, etc. I'm planning to keep the bumpers stock front and
rear. It seems to me that a hitch that ties the rear frame rails together at
the very back of the truck would be a good place. Has anyone done this? Can
anyone suggest a model and manufacturer of the appropriate hitch? Is this
something that would have to be custom built? What other mods should I plan
to make to the truck (i.e external trans cooler? (radiator already has built in
cooler for trans), external oil cooler?, HD shocks?).
Thanks in advance.
