The 1971 part just refers to the paint scheme style, which was used by TTX from 1971-1991

Sweet. What are they, about two feet long?

Might buy a couple to get my driveway over the creek in the yard.

I wasn't referring to that part but rather the decade when the hitches were modified for twin 45' trailers. Looks like you corrected it from 1970s to 1980s. Thx.

89 feet x 12 in/ft = 1,068 in.
1,068in./29  = 36.8 in.

Good guess!
