My '54 truck has a presumably aftermarket rear bumper with a tow ball.
You can kind of see it in this picture:

I also have a postcard of a '54 with the same bumper sitting on my desk;
one of these days I'll scan it in. My dad & I believe that the
aftermarket bumper was installed by the original owner, the Arizona Dept.
of Agriculture & Horticulture.
By the way, if anyone knows of a place to find replacement taillight
lenses for aftermarket bumpers (NAPA? truck stops?), let me know. I got
pulled over twice on a trip to Nebraska because my taillight lenses are
faded & the highway patrolmen saw white taillights.
