A 34 inch frame for your 1998 Chevy C/K will mean you have the cab and chassis and not a standard pickup. So there are different hitches depending on if you have a cab and chassis (which is a 34 inch frame) or a standard pickup:

- Cab and Chassis: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13028

- Pickup w/ Standard or Step Bumper: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13042
