I have pulled a lot of trailers over the years and like to use a hitch mounted to the frame instead of pulling with a bumper.

I like the ability to use a drop if I need to, to get the trailer more level.

I just bought a '75 C-30 with a real heavy duty rear bumper, but I am going to install a receiver hitch to the frame under the bumper.

I just feel more comfortable that way.
