Trailer hitch for '76-'79 Aspen or Volare

[wittenbn]

I'm looking for a trailer hitch I can bolt in for my '76 Dodge Aspen wagon. Reese had a hitch (81095) but it is no longer available. Thanks

Welcome aboard....

Like my Fifth Ave I'm pretty sure you'd have to get one custom made.

Years ago when I had my 85 Fifth Avenue it had a store bought hitch on it. It was a receiver hitch but it used smaller tubing than a regular one. I have one that I bought at a second hand store for 5 bucks. I bought it with the plan of converting it for my 77 Aspen. A man, a welder, some steel, no problem.

I have one on my Fifth. Was on it when I got it. Definitely a custom made job.

Yeah, I have one in My 1980 Aspen sedan, also custom made. I don´t know what it costs today but in my receipt from 1983 it costed 2500 FIM here, which is about 400 euros.

I would think any good metal fabrication shop could build you whatever you need. You could go all out and have it built from stainless,,,,,,,,,,if money were no object that is.

Or, if you want to do it yourself, I could provide some sort of measures

I sold one to a guy named Ronald Byron. He has an ls he was going to put it on. That was a couple years ago, and the car's not done yet. He is on the Mopar Style page under Slodoba, and on the facebook page for cordoba,mirada, st, regis. It was in good shape. look him up.

I found a bolt on hitch designed for Dodge Aspen or Plymouth Volare (DrawTite). Also fits a lot more models 76-80's. Contact HitchKing in Flushing, NY, telephone 718 353-6078 or HitchKing@aol.com. They are very nice to deal with. They have available about 43 of these hitches.
Everyone else I have contacted could not help.
