yeah, simple strong hitch bolted to frame or, even better, welded, trans cooler, lights hook up, w/hookup for towing safety chains...since you only do it occassionally, you might want to look at the type of hitch that has a receiver, easier to remove from the bracket, that is attached to your frame... the first time you forget it's there and you walk around the back side of your truck and bang your shin on the hitch, that you might have not used in the last 6 mos, you'll wish you had invested in a removable hitch ball carrier... been there, done that, bought the extra large bandage...

>> Is this just a half ton? ya might wanna check on the specs of the tranny as well, if it's a plain jane 1/2 ton tramny may be too light, doesn't hurt to check, either way ... install a tranny cooler in addition to one melded into your radiator... if your hauling long distances , then the sprcial tow weight distribution devise might be needed, I live on a farm in Texas, tow stuff regularly and never needed one, my truck has towed to NW US and is now on it's 5th or 6 th run to Philly... tows great as is, if you tow high profile stuff, ie. , camping trailer, etc., it is recommended...
