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.

Actually built some narrow plates to go inside the folded sheetmetal frame.
Can not exactly remember how I did it. But towed a 2800# vette on a tandem
trailer with spare wheels. Worst part of the beautiful POS was the lack of
brakes 10" drums, and lack of radiator size. Could not use the AC on real
hot days.
