wildfelr Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 RQB 3263 81 Avanti II...I am thinking about a trailer hitch/receiver for rqb3263...I am sure its been done by someone so whats the best way to approach this for a 500# max small tagalong (Pepsi cooler size)...for all practical purpose I (we) have no trunk space and it would be useful on road trips...Ideas please ....BILL
Gunslinger Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 I have a NOS trailer hitch for an Avanti that I never used. Avanti Motors had them made up and sold them as an option. I believe they were made by Valley or Draw-Tite. It's chrome plated and a Class 1. Let me know if you're interested.

I have a used hitch from my 74 with the helper springs to go with it. They'll cost you lunch when I'm down in February if you can wait that long. If you want the NOS from Bruce, Not a problem. They're not perfect but I think they should clean up better than they look here. It is the hitch installed by N&A on the 74 when new, The OP pulled a boat with it.

THANKS ...BILL It does attach to the bumper. There may be no way around that without some good fabrication skills.
Avanti83 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 Good catch, Bill. I'll bring it down if you want to modify it as well as the helper springs. In a day or so, I'll see what it looks like under mine. IAC, Roadhouse it is, we'll see who buys as my brother will be along also I suspect. Bob
wildfelr Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Posted September 26, 2016 Rqb3263 ...i HAVE (had) the skills but out grew the initiative and sold off my main fab tools....thank goodness now i can take another nap ....BILL
wildfelr Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Posted September 26, 2016 RQB3263 No need to haul it to fl since there is no real chance of it working...its better under your work bench than disappearing into my black hole never to be seen again...adios for now ...BILL
Avanti83 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Posted September 26, 2016 Ok, it's back on the shelf. See you in February
