Hidden Hitch

Is Brothers the only place to buy a hidden receiver hitch that is behind the license plate ? Not bashing Brothers but would like someone closer to Georgia if there is anyone.
Thanks John

Re: Hidden Hitch

CPP has them as well. Doesn't fit your hope of a closer vendor though.

Re: Hidden Hitch

I made my own for both my 69 and my 72. I actually bought bothe of them at a garage sale and modified them, it cost about $50 for both of them. I cut out a square hole in the license plate brackets and mounted my plate on a hinge. You would never know they were there without lifting the lic plate.
