Re: Looking for a used trailer hitch.

Well, gee. He sounds like he thinks he's paying a consultant. Hint for
Jonathan W.: advice on the internet is worth what you pay for it. In among
the verbiage which satisfies the writer's urges, there is, occasionally,
something of value.

In the 1950s I haunted the junk yards, partly to get pieces to keep my $13,
1933 Chevy running, but also to get educated. (Modern junkyards don't hack
it.) The haggling I learned served me in good stead in Juarez.

My old grandmother used to tell me "Don't believe anything you hear, and
only half of what you see." (SWMBO says that came from Will Rogers, but
.... )

Lighten up, people.
