If you want the correct one for the Chevy truck you can buy them at:

Or, you can make your own by using the sttached information.

Note, if you use the "flat" prop, you will have to move the Voltage Regulator down about 1" for clearence of the support in the closed position.

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated

This one is easier to build, a couple pieces of sheet metal, 2 bolts, a hitch pin clip, a rubber tip, and a piece of whatever round stock you can find. Pictures are not very good but all I have now.
