[V8] Trailer hitch

[Tony and Lillie]

I had a d'lan on a 5000tq, fit nicely. We built a class 2 for the V8, and 
it's nice. It's much stronger than the d'lan, but mine was originally built 
for the 5000, so it requires removal of the V8 bumper. However, that could 
be easily taken into account when designing yours. BTW, I'd recommend using 
the larger reciever. It allows for buying much different height drop/raise 
hitches, in case you tow something with a large tongue weights (not that I 
did ;P ).

The d'lan as well as mine both mount through the factory framerails. In the 
case of mine, I used 2" chanel iron on top (in the trunk) for extra support. 
Basically, I built is as MB would have in the 60's. No worry of anything 
coming loose or bending.

Tony
