Wax paper on hitchball

[Tulefog]

To avoid dealing with the greasy hitch ball, i am going to try wrapping it in wax paper. it might be a little bit, but when i take it out i will let you know how it works.

Have been doing this for many years. :agree: Tom :spyder:

Why not just put a cover on it? I have a pretty sky blue one on mine.

Wax paper works in a pinch. A routeine of wipe off & apply before trailer aint bad. & can decorate when not pulling anything. Better than cut up tennis ball you may spot on some, there is nice selection of trailer ball covers(Helps fight rust if you care)

& loading pic right side up would be great

Somehow i manage to wear the grease when i remove the hitch, thanks for the wax paper tip.
Yep-i need to get a hitch ball cover, that over the wax paper and i will be set.

Any different ideas for a hitch ball cover?

would be right for spyder, sure the plug would cause problem but good for a laugh. :roflblack:

Just get a tennis ball, cut a slot in it and pop it on!
The bonus is you don't bash your shins and you can still grease it if you desire :thumbup:

You can usually find quite a few for sale at any automotive or box store.

That is a great looking pick-up, Lots of character, so hard to find today. I really like them in there original paint. By the color I would guess that it is a late 50's or early 60's. They rot out so bad up here they are hard to find in driveable condition. I have some used hitch balls that would fit the truck better, that new one dosen't do it justice.

Personally, I think the hitch bit and others are set up but funny anyway.

That is a bit later than I thought. Forgot they had that bed style in 68. I actually owned a 68 (same Color) with the 8'bed. 6 with 3 on the tree. Some how it developed some cracked rings, so we replaced them. Didn't even have to pull the motor, the pan slipped right off. Took that truck on a cross country road trip in 71 all I remember is the lack of power to start from a dead stop on the hills in San Francisco.:yikes:
