I have wanted to build a tear drop trailer for a long time. I finally ordered plans. I have pulled a hay rack trailer converted to a float for our local historical society using an old fashioned clamp on type bumper hitch with my 49 Suburban. This worked pretty good as I only had to keep up with the high school marching band going maybe 2 mph.
I want to install a frame type hitch on the Sub. I need advice from fellow Bolters who have done this. I have a 31 gallon tank between the frame rails at the back of the AD frame so any welding is probably not a good idea. There is also a 2X2 square tube across the very end of the frame that supports the tank. On my 06 Chevy 1/2T the hitch is bolted to the rails. Can I bolt a hitch to the rails of the AD frame?
Suburban has a 283/TH350 combination with what I believe to be a 2:89(?) rear and drives, steers and stops well. Brakes are power front disc rear drum with a 2 compartment master cylinder. I won't know the trailer weight until I receive the plans. What say you?
