that does not hang down below the license plate. I am not really interested in the one that goes behind the license plate
I'm kind of confused. You dont want one that is below the license plate, but also dont want one that is behind the plate.

That doesn't really leave much.

Anyway, what does work is any class 3 hitch made for the 73 and up trucks. What you need to do is get a couple pieces of 1/2" plate and drill the holes to match the ones between the two side pieces of the hitch that bolt to the frame. Just use these plates as spacers to get the correct width. I've used this set up on my C-10 to pull a 20 foot boat that weighed over 3000 lbs dry. Make sure you use the reinfocement pads (square rectangles) on the back side of the frame.

Hope this helps. BTW, Walmart sells them pretty cheap and the quality is good.
