PICTURES of a HITCH on a CHARGER....for whomever asked

[ChargerBill]

I read a thread asking for these pics but I can't find the thread now. Anyway, here they are - original factory hitch (according to my build sheet) hope this helps.

  Interesting.  Would that make a Charger worth more to have a rare optiong like that?  Hmm, I am guessing its possible, but I would take it off anyways while I owned and drove the car.

I got one of those on my '69 500..

Fantastic pics. Just what I was looking for. Anyone interested in selling a hitch please send me a message. Thanks. Otherwise I may have to try and fabricate one.

 Had one on my 68 Road Runner, but pretty sure Dad had it installed

It also saved my Runner as well. Mon had stopped to pick up one of my friend's that was walking home. Guy ran into the back of Mon in a Ford P/U. Trailer hitch pretty much took the hit, only one dent on the trunk. Truck, well he got the worst of the deal. Had to have the hitch pulled off after that, bent it up to the point we could not but gas in the Runner.

Is that skid plate mounted on the fuel tank just to protect against rupture or is the hitch actually attached to the tank also.

Couldn't be- that would be dangerous as hell.

Interesting, I never knew that was an option on a Charger.

When I bought my car it had an aftermarket hitch on it.  Looks a helluva lot stronger than the stock piece.  I'll post some pics and sell it if anyone is interested.

I sent you a message Rocky.

  That is not an actual factory package.  I have one and will take new pix after 9 PM pst. for you guys.  It actually has a chrome frame that goes around licence plate, but attaches in same fasion around tank, (solid piece around tank).

I've been told that mine might not be factory correct, BUT the option IS on my build sheet, so at one point it did have the correct set-up. I also have the larger radiator, high output amp, larger front brakes and whatever else goes with the option...

The trailer tow package was an option on my 71 R/T  but it was long gone when I bought it.It would have been interesting to see what it looked like.

Problem is it is more than likely not rated to pull much weight

[Telvis]

That plate attached to the gas tank looks scarry.

I had a 3gen with one like that years ago. I would not pull anything bigger than a Jet Ski with one. The brakes & Chassies are not made for it. The photo's of that guys pulling the empty enclosed trailer behind the Daytona clone scared me I bet he had his hand full the whole time.I have log 1000's of miles pulling car trailers & I think 1/2 ton trucks are even to small for the job.

[mustanghater]

whats the option code?

[Goldfinger71]

A35 Trailer tow package.....at least that's the code for the 3rd gen's im not sure of the 2nd gen's.

That plate attached to the gas tank looks scarry.

The hitch is not attached to the tank.  That should be a piece of rubber between the two to keep the hitch from rubbing a hole in the tank.

here's the hitch that was attached to my 3rd gen when i got it

i think they make the car loook stupid

[Rocky]

OK, my hitch is totally different from the stock style, and I finally found my camera.  Sorry I don't have one of it on the car, but I'm sure you get the idea of how it would look.
