On my 1968 Charger I had to build some plates to sandwich the "frame"
to attach a receiver hitch.


Your '68 Charger *had* a frame. Most new cars don't. I think the last
full-framed big car is (was) the Ford, Mercury and Lincoln towncars that
are being phased out.

Notice the quotes? Unitbody frame and I build a sandwich of steel plates
to spread the load.


Hafta go check .... be right back.

I see what you mean. It has a frame of sorts ... but not like a real, full
frame. Sorta ends before it gets to the back. Took some pictures but the
underside of the Lee is rough. No rot, but it has not been restored yet.
