hitch ?

Guys,

This hitch was on my 67 1/2ton fleetside when I bought it. It is welded to a x-member and to the framerails. Is this an original style hitch or is it junk?
Looks like its springloaded and it twists to pop out. Site behind a non orignal bumper. I wanted to make sure it wasnt some option, etc before I take it off.

Thanks
Mike

Re: hitch ?

LOL, thanks guys.

Didnt think so but I wasnt sure...this poor truck was a basket case when I bought it.

Its going to the scrap pile then.
