All dump bodies/hoists,tanks etc are welded to the frame, as are most of the pull plates for tag trailers, my cousins ten wheeler has a 2” receiver below the pintle for if we want to pull the little trailer instead of the 20 ton, then just run the wires from the junction box to the plug, simple
RepoweredRookie, bumper Jack and LameMule Thank this. -
RepoweredRookie Thanks this.

You can weld and drill the frame. It’s not recommended to drill the flanges. Web only. I suggest using a heat sink when welding and would also stay on the web.
Also disconnect the batteries before you start.RepoweredRookie Thanks this. -
You might need a tail light converter in order for the turn signals to work correctly with the brake lights. Some states require trailer brakes for tandem axle trailers over a certain weight. So even if you feel like you don't need it to stop, it may be required by law. It's not hard to wire one up. They make air to electric controllers, or you can wire into a brake signal and manually adjust the sensitivity.
