Absolutly! That is going on Low Buck this week. I got mine from ECE and it is a work of art and a very well built unit.. I would recomend one of their's in a heart beat.

Yep and the best part is the wiring just plugs right into your stock tail section for the standard flat 4 plug.

Will it work with a blazer tank on the trucks?

Re: can a hidden hitch be used w/a bumper?

Can someone tell me what the distance is from the frame down to maybe the center of the receiver? I'm wondering if the hitch will work on my 69' with a 96' stepside bed and a roll pan. Thanks, Brandon
