hitch wanted
Looking for an inexpensive hidden hitch to install on my 87 behind the roll pan. Doesn't need to be anything nice, just needs to be hidden. Truck is too low for any type of drop hitch.
Thanks

I don't know exactly what your looking for, but I built a hidden receiver hitch for my '80. It took a little time, but it only costs about $20 for metal. If you do that type of thing, it might not be a bad idea to build your own.

I have the same problem. Hidden hitches for our trucks are harder to find. If I don't find one I like I'm having one custom built. My brother has a friend who made one and welded it to the frame. I making a pull out bar for mine. I've been rearend twice already. Each time I've had to replace the tailgate, tailgate skin and the reverse handle. The roll pan has been straightened out since its welded into the body on the ends. My lowered truck sits just right where a full size truck will hit the bed sill plate and only slightly damage the tailgate to warrant a replacement. The pull out bar will only be used on heavy traffic days and bad weather days. It will be 16 inch wide and stick out about three to four inches behind the roll pan. If I can find a sticker for it I want to say "Go ahead, make my day!" No more damage to my truck but the unfortunate rearender may have to tow his vehicle.
