I've been thinking about it'd be nice to be able to tow a trailer with my 41 but I have some questions.

First of all safety. I have the original style drum brakes all around, but they've been rebuilt the wheel cylinders have been rebuilt and also the master. The drum on the front are brand new. However that considered what kind of trailer/load could I stop safely?

Also what kind of trailer could I pull/stop? Would a 16' car hauler be to big? I have a 216 with 4 speed trans and 4:11 gears

Next how can bolt on a hitch receiver? It'd be kinda nice to bolt one on and keep a stock bumper also but might not be able to have my cake and eat it too. Could at least interchange a tow bar and a bumper? Has anyone done this and could ya explain how ?
