Tow Hitch.....??
My Dad's wants to get a tow hitch for his 72 CST Blazer. Does it have to be custom made, or does somebody make one that fits? Or, if anyone has one they want to sell let me know as well. Thanx.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT AND HOW YOU WANT IT TO
MOUNT, I HAVE ONE THAT SLIDES INTO THE FRAME RAIL AND TUCKS BEHIND A ROLL PAN. IT IS CLASS 4 OR GREATER GVR RATED SINCE IT WAS CUSTOM BUILT. ( CAN'T USE A BUMPER )

Early classic www.earlyclassic.com has a hidden receiver that hides behind a fold down license plate. It is rated as a class 4 hitch. $189.00 includes everything...

Does the Hidden Hitch require the use of a roll pan instead of bumper?

The hidden hitch uses a stock bumper. They supply the hardware for the fold down license plate.

I took one off my Jimmy that was bolted to an added cross member on the frame. I trashed the cross member piece but have the hitch. I'll snap a pic if you'd like.

I have a custom receiver on the Jimmy when I went to the lift, but I have a Valley chrome one that works with the original chrome bumper. I used it for years before the lift. $40 plus shipping if interested. Here is a pic:
