Expert Answers about Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup


  • How To Add In-Bed Gooseneck Wiring To a Chevrolet C/K Series
  • I have the perfect solution for you to add an in-bed gooseneck wiring harness to your 1994 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup with the Adapter 4-Pole to 7-Pole and 4-Pole part # 37185. For this, you can use part # 20023. Basically, the above harness will just splice into the wires you have ran to the above 4 to 7-way adapter with connectors such as part # SWC501746-1 (4) and part # SWC501915-1 (2). This option will allow you to retain the use of both connection points.

  • Recommended Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit for 1999 Chevy K3500
  • For your 1999 Chevy K3500 you will use the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 Bolt # RP30035. The model year of your truck is too old for the custom bracket kit you are seeking. This will absolutely work well for you. If you desperately want a custom fit, then the only option we have is the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch # BWGNRK1000-5W that then will use either a Companion hitch # BWRVK3500-5W or an adapter like # 16310 for a traditional...

  • Wiring Recommendation for the Pollak Metal 7-Pole # PK12703
  • For the Pollak Metal 7-Pole # PK12703 there isn't a harness that plugs into the back of it, but we do offer a jacketed 7-way wiring harness by the foot. For that you would want the part # DW04914-1. It's sold by the foot so you would need to order a quantity of it in the length you need.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Chevy C3500 with Utility Bed
  • For your 2000 Chevy C3500 with the utility bed your best option is going to be a hitch designed for models that have the 10 inch deep drop bumper such as # C13099. that will drop the receiver down far enough but it or any hitch will be recessed a good amount under the vehicle because of the utility body. There isn't a way around that other than to use an extra-long ball mount like # BM20 which is 13-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole.

  • Curt Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Chevy Truck
  • If your 2000 Chevy truck is a cab and chassis model the Curt Hitch part # 13028 would be the correct hitch for your vehicle. I spoke with my contact at Curt and he informed me that the 34 inch measurement is from outside of frame rail to outside to frame rail. If you don't have a cab and chassis model you would want the part # C15325 hitch instead.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 1987 Chevy V10 Pickup Step Side Short Bed with Sport Bumper
  • Your 1987 Chevy C/K pickup, V10, is the 1/2 ton 4x4 model. The standard suspension on it was not the heavy duty suspension. The rear gross axle capacity would have to be rated at 6,000 pounds for the HD suspension which was an option for the V20. The spacer blocks are # 01077-011 and they are sold individually. I am not sure what the Sport bumper looks like so I had to look it up. It is not a standard/step bumper so if that is truly the case then hitch # 75034 would not fit properly....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1991 Chevrolet C/K Pickup W/ Roll Pan
  • As long as your 1991 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup is a 1500 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13942 which is designed to work with trucks that have a roll pan installed, but you will need to cut a hole in the roll pan behind the license plate for the hitch to work. At this time there is not a trailer hitch receiver for the 2500/3500 trucks with a roll pan. The # 13942 has a 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating making it a...

  • Special Drill Bit for Drilling Into the Bumper of a 1992 Chevy C/K Series Truck
  • For hard to drill metal surfaces I recommend a rotabroach bit. We have several of these, see link, but they will probably be too large for for a 7-way mounting bracket. You can also try to use self-tapping screws like # 1172904 instead of drilling. For adding new wiring and brakes, I have included a link to a video that should help. For a 1992 Chevy C/K series truck, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and easy to use.

  • Recommended Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1969 Chevrolet K10 Pickup
  • Both the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41947 and Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41938 are a confirmed fit for you 1969 Chevrolet K10 as long as you have an 8 Foot bed and both options will require some drilling for the installation. Since they both install in the same location both will fit the same, with the only differences being that the # 41947 will hang down lower due to the longer side bracket as seen in the included picture. My preference is the...

  • Hitch Recommendations for a 2015 Chevy Sonic

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

  • Will Curt Echo Brake Controller Work on 1982 Chevy C10
  • The only thing the Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 needs on the tow vehicle for proper operation is a 7-Way connector with the 12V pin activated. If your 1982 Chevy C10 is equipped with a 7-Way and that circuit is active the Echo will work perfectly and you are good to go. It sounds like though that you might have a 4-Way connector on the truck and you're using an adapter like the Hopkins # 37185 to connect with the 7-Way on your car hauler. If this is the case you will just...

  • Trailer Hitch for 1998 Chevy C/K 1500 to Tow a 7,000 Pound Trailer
  • Yes, Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 37130 will have the capacity for a trailer weighing 7,000 pounds. This hitch maxes out at 7,000 pounds without weight distribution so you might consider a higher capacity hitch. Curt trailer hitch # C14081 is a great option. It is only a few dollars more than the Class III hitch and it has a 10,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity. Be sure to consult the truck owners manual to make sure it too can tow the 7,000 pound trailer. Installation is fairly straight...

  • Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1996 Chevy C/K 3500 Crew Cab
  • The Draw-Tite gooseneck trailer hitch # 9465-40 will not fit your 1996 Chevy C/K Series 3500 pickup because it is a crew cab model but we do have other gooseneck hitches that will fit. For your truck I recommend the B&W Turnover Ball gooseneck trailer hitch # BWGNRK1000. I have included a link to a video review of this hitch for you.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1978 Chevy K20 * Foot Bed with Standard Bumper
  • Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 41938 will fit your 1978 Chevy K20 if it has the standard factory bumper and it the distance from the end of the frame to the leaf spring shackle bracket is 19 inches or more so since yours are at 14 and 18-1/2 this hitch will not fit. You can instead use Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" Item # 41947. I have linked the installation instructions for you. I also recommend etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit - 3" Rise or 4" Drop - 16,000 lbs...

  • What Can I Use To Haul 5th Wheel Trailer With My Gooseneck Hitch on 1998 Chevrolet Pickup Truck
  • I contacted our representative at Draw-Tite, and he informed me that the Hi-Rise Gooseneck to Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch, part # 9480, is not compatible with your Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck Hitch because the Draw-Tite and Reese Remov-A-Ball Gooseneck hitches are plate style hitches. A plate style Gooseneck Hitch has an above the bed plate in the truck bed and a sliding pin that will interfere with mounting part # 9480. Any of the other below the bed gooseneck hitches that do not have the plate...

  • Finding Correct Trail Air Pin Box and 5th Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2000 Chevy K3500
  • To determine if there is an air ride pin box that will fit your trailer I will need to know the manufacturer and model of the pin box itself. This information should be on a sticker or plate on the pin box. Or, if that information is not available, it is possible to identify the pin box by taking some measurements. I have included a link to a help article that shows the measurements needed. It looks like the gross trailer weight for your 2012 Flagstaff 5th wheel trailer is under 10,000...
