Thought you guys might like to see the new all-stainless steel grill guard my Tet Offensive Vietnam Vet welder buddy made for the '72 CS. Also the back bumper is a rebuilt DMI Quik-Cush'n Hitch bumper with a nifty stainless steel skin over it. Very nice for towing heavy loads without jerking the drivetrain. To hitch up to the trailer, you get the drawbar in the vicinity of the trailer hitch, then extend it and swing it, hook up, then back up and it locks into place. The drawbar is spring-mounted to absorb shock from the load being pulled. They're still available today from United Truck Parts. I highly recommend them.

This is the back bumper with the drawbar extended and swung to one side:
This is a view of the all-stainless steel grill guard, built with pieces my buddy had laying around:
This is what it looks like from the side. It has a handy step and a clevis for hooking a chain or rope:

Very nice, and my best to your Buddy who is a fellow Nam era Vet.
May your sails stay full, and your knots not slip. Unless a slip knot.
