Elwood, I've been thinking about installing a receiver hitch on our '51 F-1. I also run a '53 Merc Flathead with the stock 3 speed and a 3.92 rear, with an OEM single reservoir master cylinder. I'm not planning on haulin' heavy vehicles, maybe an 8N Tractor on a lightweight trailer.

My primary concern has to do with the brakes...

How heavy is the 460 with the four speed transmission?
