Re: Anyone Running A Front Receiver On Their '67-'72?

Thanks. It works great.

Vertical load limit on the 2” .125 was something like 500#, so between the 3 it should be able to carry that much with a 3x safety factor. I may add some sort of anti-wobble pin that screws in to minimize sway due to the tolerance in the 3/16” wall 2 1/2” tube ID and the 2” OD.

It is amazingly useful. For tube or even other metal sticks I wish it had a “V” head on the end instead of flat, but for lumber, ladders, or canoes the flat is best. Great to able to pick up a lighter load without having to drag the trailer out.

FYI, those are just over 22’ long sticks of DOM.
