Default C-6 Trailer hitch

I need to install some type of trailer hitch on my c-6 so I can pull a small 4'x4' trailer to get my track tires too the track. The track is to far to try driving with them on, tried it once and got cought in the rain, I thought it was all over!! Does anyone know where to buy a hitch or have plans on how to build one. I looked at the frame and it is VERY THIN !

I've been looking also, haven't found any "brand name" hitches yet. None of the major companies shows a C6 hitch available. A custom hitch is probably the way to go but how do I know who I can trust to do it right? One of the installers at U-Haul said a C5 hitch "should be" adaptable but I haven't pursued it yet. I even left an opening between the Magnaflow mufflers for the drawbar.

Let the Forum know if you find something and I'll do the same.

Try De'Lan in Shirley, MA. They made me a hitch for my C5 way back in 1997. Excellent products and staff.
