Hidden Hitch Receiver?

Has anyone ordered a hidden hitch receiver from one of our vendors? I believe Early Classic is the actual maker. I ordered one a while back and didn't get the instructions. I finally got a chance to get under my truck today and line it up and I don't see how it's going to fit on the frame rails. If anyone does have one and can post the instructions I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I was going to get one... but the guys at Early Classic told me I would have to remove the inner supports from the rear shackle brackets in order for it to fit... so I held off. Apparently the trucks don't have supports there.

Let us know!

Yeah, that makes sense. I don't see how it's going to work. Of course, my welded in bumber isn't helping matters either but that's not what's causing the problem. I emailed the vender I ordered it from and hopefully I'll get a prompt response.

They make 2 models, a hidden one for behind the license plate, and
a low profile one, kinda like the one on a newer model silverado

Do you have any links to the low profile one? Maybe that one would be a better fit.

Early Classic lists a different part number hidden receiver hitch for Blazers and pickups. Is it possible this is your problem?

LUV, that only shows the one I have, the hidden hitch.

badpeanut...I thought that might be it also but there's a little sticker on mine that specifically says Blazer.

Who knows, I'll probably end up going to Uhaul and having them install one and just eat the $160 I paid for it.
