frame rail width
Anybody know the difference (if any) in the width between the frame rails of a 1968 C20 and 1968 C10 ? I'm looking to buy a hidden trailer receiver hitch, behind the license plate. Some manufacturers say it's a different width and others say their hitch fits both. Thanks !!!

Re: frame rail width
There may be a difference between K-models and 2wd trucks as I believe they have different bumper brackets. Which may interfere with the hitch mounting. But I don't believe there is a difference between a 10 and a 20 in the same model.
What model of truck are you looking to put the hitch on?

Re: frame rail width
You didn't say what truck (C/10 or C/20), so do this.. Measure your frame and then measure the hitch you're looking at.. Saves the time and trouble of having everybody running out and taking frame measurements...

Re: frame rail width
Sorry guys, I have a C20. The hitches I'm looking at are all online, no way to actually measure. I even called the manufacturer to get a measurement, but they couldn't provide that info. The hitch for the C10 is $150 less than the C20 hitch, and all I could find out is the C20 is narrower. Talking to different manufacturers is just making this more confusing. I thought I could get some clearer info from you guys !!!

Re: frame rail width
34 inches from the outside of each frame rail. I don’t have access to the hitch to get measurements
