M 1028 bolt on reciever hitch

[POOR WHITE BOY]

Does anybody make one that will bolt on without removing the excisting lift bracket mounts ? Reese or drawtite ? Part number ? Thanks

Not that I could find, used a Reese with a few modifications to the hitch I was able to keep everything the way it was. The biggest problem was finding one that fit right under the bumper fost are for bumpers with 4 or 6 inch drop

I'm looking for the same thing... do you have a part number for the Reese you used, and any further info on what mods it took?

Right now my truck has a 2" receiver tube welded to the bottom of the bumper. I'm ok towing my little john boat off of it, but don't want to put any more load on somebody elses boogerwelds.

I got one made by Curt Manufacturing at my local Agri Supply. It fits nice and snug up under the bumper and is hardly noticable.

Do you have a part number for that hitch from curt manufacturing ? I was told that they make a hitch that will bolt on without removing any excisting lift brackets .thanks , hal

You can go to the junk yard, buy a complete receiver hitch off a late model chevy, around $50 or so, and either adapt it to the truck or have a welding shop do it for you. The receiver hitches are normally pretty cheap from the salvage yard, so when you are done you have a great hitch and not a lot of money tied up. I did this on a M1009. Chris
