Newer clsss 5 truck hitch on a squarebody
Anyone had any success putting a hitch from a newer truck on your squarebody frame?
I want to rent trailers(500lb max tongue) and my cheap butt knows I can snag one off a newer truck in a yard or partout easily for a fraction of what a newer one will cost.

If you have a spare tire carrier that mounts under the bed you may have to remove it.

Re: Newer clsss 5 truck hitch on a squarebody
you may check my build thread.
I used a late model class 3 hitch. there is really no need for more than class 3 on a square.

Re: Newer clsss 5 truck hitch on a squarebody
I have a class III hitch on my C20. I had to move the pivot bolt on the spare tire carrier forward about 1 inch. My stock spare tire fits (23585R16), but it is very close to the exhaust. My exhaust exits out the side of the vehicle behind the rear tires.
