According to my contacts at Curt Manufacturing, if the spare tire on your 1991 GMC pickup is the stock size, the spare tire might need to be slightly repositioned toward the front of the truck. This is a simple process. Remove spare, and install hitch according to the instructions I have linked you to. When install is complete, push forward on spare tire while raising it into position. If your tires are larger than stock size, the spare might need to be completely relocated.

The Draw-Tite Class IV receiver, part # 41901 has the same capacity as the Curt, and would not require removal or repositioning of the spare tire. This hitch is not compatible with crew cab or short bed models.

The hitches that are listed for the 1998 GMC trucks with 34 inch frames are the ones that are designed to fit the cab and chassis models. The #C14081 that you referenced would work well on your truck with a 37 inch frame since it is not a cab and…
