73 Step-side SWB w Step Bumper Hitch
« on: October 14, 2018, 09:07:28 am »
I'm looking for options for a receiver hitch for my 73 step-side short bed that has a step bumper and the HD springs (56").  I see that I can add a receiver that bolts on to the bumper, but I'd like something that can bolt to the frame for a bit more capacity.

Does anyone know of a product that will work in this application?

Thanks.

I got 1 from Uhaul for my 81 stepside.  It cleared my Lund roll pan (which I hate, it screams "I was built in the 90's).  It should clear a factory bumper, that's what it was made for.  I will try to dig up the part # next weekend.

I contacted e-trailer.  They said they had a hitch that would work on a short bed step side with HD springs.  Looks like they were wrong.


Back to the drawing board.
