The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Receiver hitch

Hello, I have a '63 Chevy sb truck and was wondering if anybody knows where I can get a 2" receiver (reese) hitch that will bolt right up to the frame. Are there any companies that make this type hitch specifically for my truck?

Thanks,
Mike

Most receiver hitch's made for a Chevy should work, At least those for 87 and older. I've got the same class-3 hitch sitting in my shed right now that I've had for years. It's been on a 72, a 59, a 63 and a 74. Next it will go on my 55 2nd series (some day)! :rolleyes: The only thing I had to do was drill a new hole or two in the frame between those years!

I recently purchased a new Class III receiver hitch from LMC (Long Motor Corporation) in Lenexa, KS. Their website is www.LMCtruck.com. This was a bolt-on accessory, however I did have to drill 4 1/2" holes in the bottom flange of the rear frame rail. There was minimal interference with the factory bumper brackets.

My memory tells me it cost $129.00. I live in Lenexa, KS so I was able to pick it up, saving me the shipping costs. I am pleased with the quality of the product, the fit and finish and the ease of installation.

Best of luck. You might also try www.chevyduty.com for this and many other cool items. FYI-I'm not endorsing either of these companies. They are both located close to my house, so I get a lot of parts for my '66, C-10 and '66, K-10.
