Re: receiver hitch
The pre 88 chevies have the same frame width as our trucks.
Hidden Hitch makes a welded one piece hitch that bolts to the frame.

Re: receiver hitch
Do you like your rear bumper are you looking for one to bolt to the frame or bumper. I combined the best of both worlds. Went and bought a 4x4 square tube and welded diamond plate sides to cover the ends. Bought a receiver and welded it to the bottom of the tube. Fabed up some mounts and mounted her to the frame. Next is make the lip that goes over the frame. All it is right now is bolted flush so if I were to have a lot of toung weight the bumper would pivoit downwards.michael69 wrote:Anyone know where I can buy a receiver hitch for our trucks?

Re: receiver hitch
I've got a step bumper with holes for putting a ball in, but I didn't want to tow anything from it, even though it looks pretty solid. The bumper is mounted to the spair tire rails. Are there any hitches out there that allow me to keep the stock spare location and my bumper?

Re: receiver hitch
Yes,the Drawtite #75034 allows the spare to be kept in stock location and it works with both stock style bumper and a step bumper.I've had both bumpers on my truck and the spare is still in place with this hitch.

I've got the same setup on my 68.. Welded the box to the bumper.72Highboy wrote:Do you like your rear bumper are you looking for one to bolt to the frame or bumper.

Its a lil crooked but it does the job. I had a 1 foot drop hit but lots it driving forgot to put the locking pin in and drove away.
One thing I have come to learn on this site is just do it. If you cant find it, make it. May take a lil longer and maybe a lil bit more money but the pay out is way better when you step back and say "Yup I Made That"

Re: receiver hitch
i'm about to go the stock chrome sport bumper, and either U-hual or drawtite. but i've been thinking on the spare. could i get away with iether the spare mount from a van or from a bronco? and how many years into the late 70's and 80's will they work with our bodies.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
