For your 1990 Chevy C2500 with ranch hand bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 41504. This is an easy bolt-on installation that has long side brakets to help distribute the weight over a large portion of the frame for increased towing ability. It is a square tube design with black powder coat over an e-coat base for superior rust protection.

If you don't already have trailer wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118315. This harness quickly connects to existing wiring along frame rail with not cutting or splicing of wires.

For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This will give you an adjustable height and will allow you to store the two hitch ball options behind the shank when not in use.
