1971 K-20 frame mounted receiver hitch question

1971 chevy longbed fleetside.

I don't like the bumper mounted ball so I have been thinking about going with one of the Curt Manufacturing units. Not set on brand but this is what shows up on internet searches.

I see 2 different options; one with a "10" step bumper". Does this mean a stepside, or my ugly non-chrome bumper? i am assuming this would require me to notch the center of the bumper? I was looking at part number 13028. If someone can suggest a low cost place to buy I'd appreciate it.

I was also thinking this would allow me to ditch the big ugly bumper and get a chrome sport bumper. Guessing this would require different brackets, correct?

all i can add is that I bought a CURT reciever and installed it on my Tacoma. Good quality and design and made in the good ol' US of A.

That is good to know!

Has anybody installed one on a standard bumper and can tell me if I will have to notch it or not?
