I am not putting a hitch on the truck for the following reasons: I am keeping it original and it has a flathead 6 in it, that puts out all of a whopping 93 HP. Top speed in this old girl even with the 2 speed rear end is around 45 -50 max. This has the hydrovac power brakes, but it has a 6 volt system, and modifying a trailer to take 6 volts is a pain, and 12 volts on this old girl just isn't in the cards. All the guages are 6 volt, and there are ways to make it happen, I just don't want to spend time/money on that part of it. Also, no synchromesh tranny. It's been years since I had to double clutch, guess I'll see if I still know how. :wink:
Of the local shows I go to (all within 70 miles or less), they all have loading docks/ramps, so when I use this, that is not an issue. If I take a tractor to a distant show (or one without a loading bank/doc), it will be on my regular trailer.
I am not saying you can't make this work, but plan on at least an engine tranny swap if you plan to tow with it. Some guys have made real machines out of these, the GVW on them is 17,500.......they are built like a tank. All depends upon what you want to do and how much you want to invest. IMHO.
