If you're like me then you wonder why no one seems to make a trailer hitch for our 1949-1951 Ford cars. So today I show you how I built my own.
Now, I have to put out a HUGE caveat; I fabbed my own from using a universal hitch kit and some steel materials I have.
Building your own hitch requires confidence in your fabrication skills or the skills of someone else. You accept your own liability for these kind of custom projects.
With that said, I built mine and intend to use it as a Class 1 hitch in most instances, with the occasional Class 2 type of small tow situation. The steering and brakes of these cars (in factory form) are not built to tow, especially at modern speeds.
Here's what I used:
Reese Multifit hitch- amzn.to/3fD1Wzr
Allen Sports bike rack- amzn.to/3DEDmGd

What I use to film my videos:
Cameras:
Sony A6600: amzn.to/3dwB0QG
Sony A6000: amzn.to/3dzODic
Lenses:
Sigma 16mm prime: amzn.to/3BxFFtL
25mm prime: amzn.to/3UsX13y
Kit lens: amzn.to/3BDs7N9

Hey welcome back!
Thanks man!
Think it could handle a smaller teardrop trailer? I've got a 51 shoebox and we're looking at the 13-15ft trailers in the 1500-2000lb curb weight range
Sorry about the super late reply. I'm not sure I could comment since I don't know the camper size and weight, or how the hitch would be fabricated by someone else.
In my case, I hauled my pop-up camper behind my shoebox. I do have a modern drivetrain and an S10 front clip (disc brakes and modern steering).
So there's some factors to consider.
Hello love the build.. what headlight are you running?
Hey thanks Jim! Here's the link to the exact headlights I'm running: amzn.to/3Us6HLg
