Great idea; totally DOT compliant. Any more pictures of that good dog?

No. It' just a solid post welded to a plate and clamped to the tongue. It's for a piece of farm equipment that goes 15-20 MPH on back roads and short distances. Is it DOT compliant or just kidding? I figure it's OK for farm use especially when everyone else does nothing.

Sorry for the lousy pic, but this pic was taking from a rather bouncy F350.
Small 80s pickup with a big load of windows that are leaning more than 2' past the side of the truck.

I've got that same model pickup, right down to the trim package. It only has 4 wimpy tiedowns inside the bed corners so I made some angle iron side rails that have half chain links for rope loops and bungee hooks. There is a doubler on the underside so it won't pull through and a come along hook won't leave a welt.

Seeing Garandmans picture of his Tahoe pulling his sailboat reminded me of something I had completely forgotten about.
In the mid 70's I hitch hiked to Texas from Oregon to go hunting with my grandparents. About midnight I was dropped of where I10 and I 20 split in west Texas.
It wasn't yet all freeway and I remember a just single streetlight there. I am not there 5 minutes and a GTO pulling a 36' sailboat pulls over and picks me up.
The guys job using his own car was to deliver the boats made in Ca to Fl. We drove for an hour or so and he said he was tired, could I drive80. We swapped seats and I took over, 2 lane road then and narrow cement bridges with lotsa trucks going the other way. It was amazing that thing pulled like a dream, I would feel the oncoming trucks wind wave hit the car but the boat hull was hydrodynamic so I never felt anything when the trucks went by the boat. When I stopped to fuel he wanted to get up in the boat to sleep so off he went into the bunk and I kept driving. I was driving the loop 410 later that morning and kept getting the strangest looks from other cars, I pulled into a shopping center close to where my grandparents lived and as I got out I saw why. Here the guy is sitting in the cockpit of the boat drinking coffee!
I never even had a camera in those days but I would give anything to have a picture now!
Got a hunch it would have made this thread if I had one.

Wow that was a TWO axle trailor with both wheels missing on the same side. I at first assumed it was a single axle.
