All,

I now know more than I care to about towing requirements for a 1997 Chevy 
S-10.

The standard 2 inch ball that you can put onto the step up bumper will 
accomodate 200 lbs. tongue weight and 2000 lbs. tow weight. I am wondering 
if Sid's solution would work out.

I went down to Pep Boys at lunch today and looked at some towing stuff.

2 inch ball: 9.99
Tow Bar      112.00
Wiring kit for Chevy s-10 8.50
Rear signal lights (Brake and turn signal) 24.95

Would this and some safety chains be all that I would need? How problematic 
is it to fabricate a connection from the car to the tow bar? The tow bar is 
V shaped and adjusts to widths from 24-40 inches. It comes with some 
shackles to mount it to the axle I guess.

Thoughts?
