hitch and trailer wiring?

need some help:

1) will a hitch for a 67-72 pickup also fit a 67-72 suburban? i am looking at a 15,000lb rated reciever from jcwhitney that is listed for 63 and newer chevy pickups. i want a hitch that that will exceed 10,000 pounds for my 3/4 ton burb. my baby won't be some sissy low rider with a hidden hitch....it is a truck and that will be blatantly clear when people see the stock ride height and big hitch under the back end

2.) any possibility on a plug in trailer harness for a suburban? i bought one from lmc truck and found out that it doesn't plug into my burb (pickup only). i have a 4 to 7wire conversion harness/plug and will be liberating the brake controller out of my dad's 87 burb. it would be nice if the aftermarket provided all the custom bits for suburbans that they make for pickups.....we all know as cool as pickups are...suburbans are even better!

Re: hitch and trailer wiring?

1. I am 99% sure a hitch for a truck will fit a burb, holes will be needed to be drilled.
1a as for the "sissy" comment, if you would stop bashing everyone and being so forcefull on your anti lowered agenda, you just might learn that you can have the best of both worlds... an INCREASED payload, better ride, less body roll, easy entry for rear seat passengers, and in most people's opinion... better looks.

2 there's no plug on the rear half of the harness, so no, there is no plug and play. It is quite easy to wire up something as simple as a trailer harness... I would put it as a 2 on the bloody knuckles scale, 10 being "call a pro" and 1 being a 3rd grader can do it.
