65 m37 project
The truck had 11.00R16 tires on it when I bought it. I was able to reuse the tubes when I replaced the tires. I'm far from an expert on this, but I've read where some people use 9.00 R16 tubes -

I used the tubes from my old tires (which were also 11.00 R16) I’ve heard multiple people say they just use 9.00 R16 tubes in these -

The hitch Drew65 used is a Reese Towpower 37042 (link is to Amazon, but you can find better deals). It's rated for 500# tongue weight and 5000# towing with a standard weight carrying hitch (it will do 600# tongue / 6000# tow with a weigh distribution hitch, but it's not very common to see that... -
