[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1170499, member: 14668"] It was a[I] very[/I] good spot. Unfortunately, some high-ranking bigwig from the regional automotive department came out to our building one day and saw it and decided that it was an "unapproved modification" and he made the mechanic remove it. He said it was unsafe because if the car rolled over the stinger would come out of the receptacle and fly around in the cab. What he failed to notice was that the mechanic had cut holes thru the receptacle with an arc welder so that it could be secured with the hitch pin itself. If the hitch pin is strong enough to take the weight of a 5,000 lb loaded trailer it is certainly strong enough to keep the stinger from falling out in a rollover. The higher up you go in the heirarchy of UPS management, the less common sense you apparently have. [/QUOTE]
