Need dimension-frame tips to rear lic. plate. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I'm planning on building a hidden hitch to go behind the rear bumper on my '72 swb.
I don't have the rear bumper yet, but the beds off and it's a good time to go ahead and mount the hitch. I need to know the dimension from the tip of the frame rails to the license plate mount for the styled rear bumper (non-step).
I plan to build a plate with a tube to mount the rear plate when not towing.

Thanks

ttt for a response for you...

Not to take away from building your own (I wish I had the talent), but ECE (Early Classic Enterprises) offers a hidden receiver hitch as well as a flip license plate setup as well.

Thanks for the tip.
I already have the hitch and materials that I need sitting in the garage.
Though I do most of my own, I'm actually going to have a buddy who is a certified welder to do the welding on this due to the application.
It will have more reinforcment than an original.
