I put a "Reese Towpower 33065 33 Series Class III / IV Professional Hitch Receiver" on my '63 long fleet. $175 from Amazon(free shipping)

Nice well made heavy. You have to drill to install, (one hole on each side lines up) Easy install, use small diam bolts to hold in place, then center punch and drill frame with a uni-bit.

It sits slightly in from the stock bumper, but because you drill you have room to move it around.

I did a lot of research last summer and this should let me install a gas tank back there (lots of room).

I'm very happy with it.
