The video for hitch # 41001 is on a 1978 Chevy C/K pickup so it does stand to reason that it would be different than your 1986; still amazingly close though. The distance from the bottom of the frame down to the top of the receiver is approximately 5-3/8 inches.

If your truck has the standard or step bumper then hitch # 41001 will fit. If you have the deep drop bumper it will not fit and you would need a different hitch # 41504.
