85 C10 Hitch
« on: November 10, 2013, 02:42:45 am »
I have an 85 C10 with roll pan and have searched here and everywhere for a hidden hitch type setup to put behind the plate on a hinge. Has anyone recently found somewhere that sales this or is the status still make my own? Another caveat... this week I am installing the 2.5/4" drop kit as well. BTW, thanks Johnny Walnuts for the drop shock info. I found them and ordered..!
Thanks in advance.
JB

I think you are going to have to make one, as it would have to be made to miss the spare or be packaged deeper.

Thanks for reply Chris. I don't have spare tire and found this:

Will have to cut square in my roll pan but no Biggie. It will be hidden behind the fold down hinge plate holder I ordered.

Mine is on the way and I'll post some pics of the process when I can. Got the engine down to the block on a stand at the moment.
