AHH I see, this would be much easier. However I do see some pros and cons between the two. Yours is rated for 1300LBS, BEFORE you added all those spacers:whistle:, and the U-bolt is just ,well sketchy looking.;-) That being said it will probably outlast the truck and us! The one I used was AH...
That looks really clean. I like how the receiver sits right up to the bumper. Also it looks like you did the shackle flip. My hitch would be WAY too in the way to do that.
Well not "HACK" the tie downs, but I had to make about ah 6" X 1/2" relief cut to the bottom to clear the hitch it's self. Then remove the spacer towards the back. Then on about an 1-1/2" relief at the bumper bracket to also clear the hitch it's self. If you go to the bottom of this page and...
That's the same one. Etrailer has there own part numbers. So you have to go to the manufacturer to get the real numbers so you can go shopping. The ends flip flop to fit later model trucks as well as ours. The pic your looking at is how they would be for a newer truck. For ours the tabs face in...
Well I found the right one at Etrailer.com $219.00, but ended up buying it off Ebay for $153.00 (free shipping). It's a (B&W) Part # HDRH25122. 1600 lbs tongue weight, 16000 lbs towing. And yeah I had to do the same cuts just like Unaffiliated did.
Well my hitch showed up this morning so I spent the day installing it. WOW what ah pain in the X!!. 31 bolts, 6 cuts, 2 cutoff wheels, and 4 hours labor. the spare Bareilly fits. So it looks like ah 33" tire will need major surgery to make fit , but I think I could make it happen. I'd like to...
After much searching and ah few phone calls I think I found the right one? If anyone can please tell me if this would or wouldn't work I be thankful. http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-1984_Chevrolet_C%2FK+Series+Pickup.htm Its the first one (HDRH25122) for a "standard bumper or step bumper". Thanks
I've bin over the archives and didn't find a definite answer to this. I plan on going to 33" tall tires as well as the spare tire. Can the spare tire holder hold a 33" tire? And or will the hitch also be in the way? Also I noticed there are hitches for "normal step bumpers" And "deep step...
