Buyers Products Class V hitch # 3371801102 fits the cutaway cab and chassis version of the 2003 GMC Savana Van. For the cargo and passenger van version their Class V hitch # 3371801100 is the correct fit.

I am not sure which version of the base vehicle you have (nor could Buyer's Products confirm based on it having been made as a school bus) so what you can do to determine which hitch will fit is simply look at the frame under the van.

If you refer to the photos of the two hitches you will note that the receiver tube on # 3371801100 is only about 2-inches below the mounting brackets while on hitch # 3371801102 the receiver tube is much further below the mounting brackets.

The placement of the mounting holes on the vehicle frames is also different and will be a second way to determine which base vehicle the bus was built on. Hitch # 3371801102 has three mounting points per side that are all close together while hitch # 3371801100 has one mounting point per side that is far away from the other two.
