Re: 72 K20 Cab Body & Paint Complete!
Located a Class 5 hitch by Curt Mfg on the web that looked like it would work. 15,000 lb pull rating - definitely more heavy duty than I think I will ever need.
It has a 5.5" drop below the rear frame rails. My other choice from them had about a 7' drop which I thought would be too much. Did not want to impact ground clearance.
Started to fit up the side supports and then realized my rear mount tank and dual exhaust hangers were in the way. Went to Plan B - Customize. 
Will need to do some welding and add some more metal but it will be plenty strong in the end. At least enough to pull our 10,000 lb rated car trailer.
