This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: James 04/14/2023
I have not installed yet, but appears to be a very solid and well built hitch. Came with instructions and hardware to install on my 66 C-10.

The quality of the CURT hitch is superb. Installation was s bit strange. One hole on each side lined up. I had to drill the other four. Not a big deal. The weird part is that the center section of the bumper where the license plate goes had to have 3/4 inch cut from the bottom and the license moved up 3/4 inch to clear the receiver.
Someone without a good workshop would not have been able to install this hitch.
This pic is before the license was moved up.

Awesome. I have pulled a 14 box trailer with my 67 Chevy C10 several times. No issues at all.

Installed this on my 69' C-10 LWB about 1yr ago and have had very good success with it. As I recall it was a little more difficult because I set it forward a little more than normal and had to drill a couple holes. It wound up being almost a hidden hitch. Hitch appears to be well built with good looking welds. I have used this to tow 22' Ski boat on numerous occasions without any issues.

After another year the hitch is still performing as it should with no issues.
by: Levi C06/25/2022
First let start off by saying that from the time I ordered the hitch receiver, and the time it arrived at my doorstep was quite timely and much faster than other sites I have ordered parts from. Directions were simple enough to understand and not much of a read. Only problems I came across was the previous holes that were drilled into the frame did not match with the holes on the receiver (previous owner must have had a different style receiver installed). I wasn’t too upset at this as this was something I expected from a truck that is nearly 50 years old; simply fixed this by drilling new holes, which if I remember correctly, was stated to be expected during install. Along with this, I had to remove the exhaust tail pipes as they were in the way, but this shouldn’t be a problem if your vehicle has the exhaust directed out the side instead of straight back like mine. The directions state to use a 1/2 inch drill bit for the holes, but I found this to be too tight. I would recommend using a 5/8 inch bit or shimmying the 1/2 inch bit around while you drill. I would recommend you get a buddy to help, but in a case like mine, simple vice grips sufficed to hold the hitch receiver in place while I drilled. Should take about an hour with help and sharp drill bits. Overall was a good experience.
by: William08/06/2021
I installed this hitch receiver on m1971 c10, 8 ft. bed truck. The receiver is about an inch narrower than my frame railed. None of the bolt holes lined up. I did not flush the receiver with the license plate because the hooks for the chain would have been under the bumper. It is a sturdy and well receiver. The reason I gave it a 3 was because of the install process.

I apologize for the annoying install. Sometimes with older vehicles it can be hard especially if the hitch receiver was flexed. Here is more info about flex:

Product and hardware are of good quality, only 1 hole on each side of my trucks frame lined up, so I had to drill more holes in the frame and line it up the best I could, also it didn’t clear the license plate frame on the bumper so I had to trim that about an inch, but in the end it looks good and feels secure, so I’m happy, I haven’t towed with it yet but I torqued the bolts up with a breaker bar so I’m sure it will be fine for a small boat.

When installing a trailer hitch like part # 13028 it is necessary to use a torque wrench to get the bolts to the right tightness. It is important to tighten bolts to the specified foot lbs in the instructions to avoid failure. Many auto parts stores lend out tools so you will not have to buy one in most cases.

Installed on my 86 Chevy C10. Had to modify a few things but not terrible. There were some brackets that connected the bumper to the frame that needed to be removed. I took a picture of the bracket loosely attached for reference. Also had to drill out some rivets in a piece of metal that connects the two frame rails. I took a picture of me pointing at the spot where the rivet was. So had to drill 4 holes total. Overall not too difficult and is pretty well hidden under the truck.

Easy installation. Like that you can't see it except for the receiver itself

Works great and fit as it should. Great instructions on the website as well!
by: Keith02/01/2020
Nice high quality, easy to install, fast shipping, would recommend this hitch for 67-72 C10 truck. Exact fit to frame, and even used 2 existing holes. If hitch was made about 1 inch narrower would not even require any drilling. Thank you.

Ordered hitch Saturday night received it Wednesday evening. We had to do some adjustments bec only one of the holes on each side lined up so I had to drill 4 holes two on each side in order for it to go on and the rest was history.

Adam was so much help. It is so nice to work with a professional/company that is very knowledgeable about the products they sell. The whole ordering process was very quickly completed over the phone in a very professional manner. I have purchased from etrailer twice with great success. I highly recommend etrailer.

Fast & accurate service. I installed the hitch on my 1972 C10. I used 2 existing holes and had to drill 4 new ones. I also had to shorten the license plate bracket to clear the receiver. It took longer to install than listed but I expected it based on other reviews. I'm pleased with the final result.

Hitch receiver was exactly what I expected and the fitment was perfect. I get all of my hitches, receivers and light kits from etrailer.
by: Jim Leonard04/13/2014
Received the hitch in a couple of days of ordering, well packed. As the instructions stated, approximately one hour to install. It would not have taken that long, (about 50 minutes), but the old receiver had to be removed first.
Well built, I believe I'll get as long a service out of this one as the last. Reason for replacement, could not remove hitch from old receiver, it was so rusted in, been in the receiver for 30 years, and I needed an adjustable hitch installed.
I'll be sure to keep this one lubed some.
Sorry, unable to post a picture, looks like the advertisement though.
This was my second purchase from etrailer, will not hesitate to buy from again, should I need what they have.

Hello JimWhen you installed this hitch, you mentioned that it was adjustable, was it adjustable by the width? Because Im not seeing where the adjustments are on the picture.
Patrick B.
9/15/2014
Jim meant that he needed to use an adjustable hitch or ball mount like part # CAB-UM. His old ball mount was frozen in the receiver of the hitch on the vehicle. The receiver hitch, the part that mounts to the vehicle, is not going to be adjustable.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Is Tongue Weight or Gross Trailer Weight Rating Affected By Motorcycle Carrier?You sure do. A motorcycle carrier in the hitch will affect the tongue weight, and not the trailer weight of the hitch so you'll need to make sure your hitch is rated for the weight of your motorcycle carrier and motorcycle. However you'll also need to check the owner's manual of your vehicle and make sure you're not going over the vehicle's capacities either. You need to abide by the lowest rating between the carrier, hitch, and vehicle. The Curt # 13028 you were looking at for example...

On the order page you can enter the hitch brand name and model number to get the exact kit that you need. I would not purchase locally as trailer hitch hardware is especially designed for the high stress of towing. If it does not fit you can purchase a new hitch like the Curt # 13028 Class-III with 6000 pounds towing capacity and 600 pounds tongue weight capacity. You could also consider the Curt...

You will need to remove the spare tire initially when you are installing the hitch, but you will put it back on after the hitch is in place. I have added a link to the instructions for you which detail this.
view full answer... - Hitch for 1986 Chevy K10 Pickup Truck without Rear BumperAs long as the truck doesn't have a roll pan, you can certainly install a hitch even though the truck doesn't have a bumper. If a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity would work for you, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # 13028. If you'd like a hitch with a bit more capacity (which could be limited by the towing capacity of the truck if it's lower), the Curt Class IV hitch, part # C14082 is what I'd recommend. The Curt # C14006 you'd looked at is a fit for...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 1976 Chevy C or K Series Short Bed Stepside PickupWe have some hitch options that fit your 1976 Chevy C or K series short bed stepside pickup. In this case the stepside bed does not matter. The length does. You can use Curt Class III hitch # 13028 or Class IV hitch # C14082. For # C14082 the frame width will need to be 34 inches (measured outside to outside). Or you can use Draw-Tite hitch # 75034-011 (does not fit models with heavy duty suspension). I have linked instructions for these hitches for you.

Most likely what you have is the exact style this hitch fits but due to the age of your truck it could have been in an accident or just the variances in the vehicles back then cause it to be unique. Either way worst case scenario you could drill new holes as needed.

It has a 6,000 lb total trailer weight capacity though so as long as that 5,700 lb figure includes the trailer you would be good. Otherwise you would have to go with a higher rated hitch like the Draw Tite part # 41901 which is also a confirmed fit.

For your 1994 Ford F-150 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75038 which will fit 37.5 inch frame. If you have the 34 inch frame outside to outside, then I recommend the Curt Class III # 13028

Spacer blocks, part # 01077-011 are required when installing the # 75034 hitch because of the rivets on the frame of your truck. You will need six of the blocks to complete the installation.

- Curt Class III Hitch that Fits 1979 Chevy Silverado C/KWe have a similar Curt hitch that does fit your 1979 Chevy Silverado, but the # C13902 is not custom fit for your truck so I can't tell you for sure if it would fit easily or not.

They have frame rails that are more narrow. If your truck can with a bed on it then it is most likely not a cab and chassis. Since the truck is lifted, adding a roll pan does not necessarily mean that you have to get the roll pan bumper hitch. I will depend on how the roll pan mounts and how far it comes down. You will want to look at the instructions for the roll pan hitches, like #...

Hitch has been great. It is on my 66 Chevy C-10. I had to remount my spare as the hitch got in the way, but that was no big deal
