I would like to put a trailer hitch on my 66 Chevy. But I have not found one listed for a short wide bed. Most list one for long wide bed. Some where I saw a document that told what needed to be done to put a hitch on my truck. Anyone know where that document might be or how to put a hitch on this truck?

perhaps lenght of the bed doesn't matter with the add on reciever type hitches the hitch assembly bolts to the frame not the bed. you may have to go with a universal fit which means drilling holes in the frame. if it's for a light duty trailer you can get by with finding a step bumper and using exsiting holes

I bought a class four reciever hitch for my 54 one ton GMC at orschelns farm supply. It fit perfectly but I had to drill the holes in the frame. I think most farm supply places carry those. I just measured the frame and got one that fit.I dont like home made ones unless you are a really good welder,which I am not.


I like old trucks

Years ago I went to a fabrication shop and they made one for my truck.
