Blazer Tank with Hidden Hitch?

I am working on doing the rear mount tank on my 81 short box. I have a roll pan that I want to hide the hitch behind. Does anyone know is you can use a hidden hitch with the rear mount tank?

Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Blazer Tank with Hidden Hitch?

I have been looking into this also, and I think my only option is to have a custom tank built to fit with a hitch. I have had many fabricators look at my blazer and all want to build something that hangs down way too far Please let me know if ya come across ANY ideas........jesse

If you do it they way I have documented the receiver would have to mount on the OUTSIDE of the framerail, where typically they mount on the inside. You can possibly notch the centers out of the edges to get the receiver to mount though.
