U-Haul gave me an estimate of $319 for installed hitch and wiring
harness, which isn't too bad.

However, my thought is that there must be old hitches out there on
cars no longer being used as tow vehicles and I might get one cheap.
I'll try calling junkyards next.

Thanks though

Go with U-Haul. The iron itself is not that big a deal, but the installation
is. Cutting
a hitch off an old wreck and then giving your neighbor a sixpack to weld it up
for you.....and then trying to wire it properly,
is a lot of work save a piddly $319.

The guys at U-Haul probably aren't rocket scientists, but they do specialize in
installing hitches and can probably do a better job on the 1751st hitch job
than you would do on your very first.

Considering the dollar value of the trailer and load, the hitch and the
installation is a poor place, IMO, to economize.

I agree. When I bought my Plymouth Voyager new, I asked the Chrysler dealer
where I should get a hitch installed. he said they could do it but advised
me to go across the street to U-Haul. No problems 9 years later and
counting.
Do it once and do it right.

Found this on ebay for $75, it fits 940s, I think it will fit your 740,
maybe someone can verify this.
