I recommend that you not do this. The reason is that there is NO good 
place to anchor it. I know that there are people here who have them 
and I know that they were sold by the dealers, but until you really 
appreciate how the rear bumper is just bolted to a flimsy piece of 
sheet metal you will not understand how poor this situation is. 

Plus the fact that after 30 years the body is just not as strong as 
it once was.
