I'm entering my local Memorial day parade and am planning on towing the Company I work for trailer. This is a civilian type trailer and is 12 volt. So I was thinking about putting a "tow light" set up for the brake.and turn signal function. What are these called? Just tow light set? I also need to attach a reese type hitch to my 84' M923 so that I can tow this trailer. I have one for my GMC,but the frame mount is to wide. Does anyone have any suggestions on mounting one ? I hope this is in the right forum! Thanks for any and all advice! Have a good one!

For an M35a2, any receiver for a standard 'chassis' truck should have the same 34" wide frame mount. just pick the manufacturer you like, and what class you want to be able to tow. I went with the Class IV Curt 14082. rated for 10,000 lbs, same as my truck, and uses a standard 2" hitch. ($160 on amazon)

Note: my truck is 'bobbed', so be sure there aren't any brackets in the way of doing this with a stock deuce.
