yah, I know,
I actually have a factory tow package on the white 78 SE wagon. but I would not trust it my self.
it is far from what I would consider safe for anything except a lawn mower trailer, by todays safety standards.
it's just a couple pieces of flat stock with some L brackets that all bolt together, and a chrome ball mount.
it is designed to flex with the load. and uses the internal bumper core for weight support.
as you described. but I still would not consider a good idea. unless you modify the bumper as well, to make it a solid mounted bumper.
the white SE is a parts vehicle for my blue wagon and my 79 duster.. is not running the 225 engine was robbed for it's super 6 parts before I bought it.
