Position of Hitch Receiver Tube for Curt Class III Hitch 13028 Once Installed on Truck Frame

Question:

Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 Item # 13028 Can you tell me where this receiver comes out on a 1964 Chevy C10 with stock rear bumper. Do you have any photos with this hitch on this truck? Thank you!

We have not had a local customer with your same truck come in for an install of this particular item so we do not have photos to share with you but we can still help you determine the position of the receiver tube once the hitch is bolted up to your truck frame with the included hardware kit.

I went to the warehouse and measured the hitch to give you two key dimensions that will help you see where the receiver tube will be positioned once the hitch is installed. From the top surface of the mounting brackets (that contact the bottoms of the truck's frame rails) down to the top exterior surface of the receiver tube the distance is 5-inches. From the center of the rear-most mounting holes on the mounting bracket back to the opening of the receiver tube the distance is 11-1/2-inches.

I prepared a photo diagram with these dimensions that is linked for your review.

The Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # 13028 fits both 6-foot and 8-foot bed trucks like your 1964 Chevy C/K Series so long as it has a factory standard bumper.

Since this hitch does not include a ball mount, ball or hitch pin you might care to add part # C45036 which has a 2-inch hitch ball along with the pin and clip to secure it in the hitch.
