Will Curt Hitch Fit 1986 Chevy Short Bed Pickup
Question:
Hi I am looking at the 13028 for a 1986 Chevy pickup short bed. It says it will match but the holes dont really line up on the mounting bracket. Can you check me on this before I order? Thanks

The Curt # 13028 is designed to fit the 1981 - 1987 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup 6 Foot Bed with Standard or Step Bumper. Assuming everything with the frame is the same as it was from the factory this hitch will line up and fit your 1986 Chevy.
It sounds to me like you took measurements on the truck and compared them to the diagram below and it does not match. If that is the case, the only option would be to weld on a universal hitch like the # 41990-07 or have a custom hitch fabricated using the # E17.
