Man.... I wish I would have saved some of that good junk.
8- 10 years ago when 80's cars used to still be in used car lots, the dealerships would cut off/unbolt the tow hitches from wagons and caprices and throw them in a pile out back.
Then if a young guy bought the car, it wouldn't be so "old man" like.
And if an old man bought it, they'd offer him a 200 hitch install.
They ended up scrapping the pile o' hitches, and selling the 80's cars to donker kids for cheap.
U-Haul and Buttrey on Ogden Ave. used to install hitches, but they've probably pussed out by now.
Everything is so weenie-like around here nowadays. All the mom and pop specialty shops are dead, and their kids are probably all depressed and on drugs.
The end of an era.
Maybe AutoZone could look up a tow hitch in their computer for you.

Badass!
You could leaf the 98 with those old chevy parts in your backyard, and run some boat dock monster tires
