Hickey or equivalent K5 Ball Hitch mount wanted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GMCNUT** · 05-19-2020, 04:34 PM

I have two trailers and a boat and can't pull a dam one of them with the K5 because it doesn't have a trailer hitch. Would love one of you to sell me a real Hickey like pictured for it, and willing to pay handsomely for one, but barring that, if anyone has a hitch you know will work without modification on my 72 K5, sling it at me and tell me what you want for it. Need to be able to pull my boat in the coming weeks

I have two in the Blazer parts for sale area.

You can have the big one for some labor cost in cutting it apart and boxing it to ship. The small one for $20 plus shipping.

This mounts under the rear frame. It Does interfere with the bottom 1/2 of the license plate... $85. Plus the ride.

I'm interested if the original poster passes.

I used the Early Classics hidden hitch for the K5 blazer. Really sturdy and added rigidity to the rear of the frame.

Here is what was done to Oem licence plate frame, bent to fit. It's included. I think a spring mount on the plate would work to solve interference.

Any square body k5 hitch will fit.
Im sure they are available new still.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-22-2020, 10:02 PM

Just a heads up. I had a bolt-on example from a 70 that wouldn’t fit on my 72 frame. Fitment may vary by hitch design.

SoCo I am taking the third option below from the other seller, but I think I want your little one as well. That way I can choose which I like best later. PM details
