Mike Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hey Les......don't forget to cut out some holes for tail lights. Other than that looks like your on the right trail. I'm liking that garage even more. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33971-trailer-hitch/#findComment-222520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 better drop it another 10" looks like at that height you can still get under the hitch to check fluids and adjust brakes etc. also better add some 2x4's for them hard pulls l.o.l. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33971-trailer-hitch/#findComment-222522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I like that you are bolting it on instead of welding it, as far as receiver height I think you look ok, you can also get drop or adjustable hitches, I have several up to a 9" for my dually pickup so I could pull a small trailer Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Vladislav Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 If you have no plans to use a trailer and plan this thing for a show only you may just paint the ply wood and end up with it Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33971-trailer-hitch/#findComment-222574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb61sx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Leslie here are some pics you asked me for I will get you some more when I get the truck later this week. You can see its all welded on flush to the rear frame and braced across the top, the plate is 1/2" steel with the trailer plug tucked in on the right side out of sight.
