We have an 1-1/4-inch opening right here with a reinforcement around it and we've got our traditional safety chain loops. Now our hitch pin hole here uses 1/2-inch diameter pin or your favorite locking pin. Now you see the receiver opening here It goes up to the body of the hitch and goes across to both sides. more
