Burb hitches
 

I have looked at hitches for a while now for my 72 burb. I seen the hidden hitch that mounts behind the license plate - but I really wanted a regular reciever that had a tube slightly below the license plate. After allot of looking I finally found what I was looking for - but hard to get ahold of one. Then a couple weeks ago I found one on Amazon - cheap - came last week - just finished installing it - fit like a glove.
It is a Valley hitch # 81190
I will get a pict in the next couple of days.

Looks like you had to add some shims...did they come with the kit? What are your thoughts of the kit and install?

everything came with it - including bolts/nuts/spacers - had to rat 2 holes @1/16 larger- other than that I am very happy with it. Problem was getting ahold of one - took me over a year to locate one.

nice looking hitch. i was looking at one a couple years ago for my Burb. but i felt 7500lbs max rating wasn't good enough for a C20 (i like at least 10k on a full size truck) i got a Curt hitch rated for 15,000lbs. only prob is it would fit a pickup perfectly, but the curvature in the burb frame meant it sits way too low and requires a ton of spacers. i plan to have it modified for a custom fit with like 1/2 an inch gap between the receiver and the license plate. found after i bought it that they make a 1 piece version so i might have mine welded up for a cleaner look (rather than spend another $200) and coat it with poly truck bed liner for protection, not that the powder coat is failing yet.
