Hidden Receiver Hitch...cusyom built By FROST89434 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue4x4 · 09-11-2003, 12:23 AM

The hidden receiver hitch was custom built by FROST89434 for my 69 4x4. I had all the parts powdercoated gloss black. It installed in about 1 hour. Thanks Jim for a GREAT job.

That is nice. How much would one cost and can you retain the spare tire mount under the bed? Thanks

griesel72 · 09-11-2003, 09:03 AM

that truck looks good. Do you have any more pics of it?

Bowtiefreak · 09-11-2003, 09:13 AM

Looks good, just curious but what colorblue is that.
Thanks

Blue4x4 · 09-11-2003, 09:20 AM

Royal blue. The paint is called sikkens

griesel72 · 09-11-2003, 09:29 AM

I would LOVE some closer pics of how that thing was built- even a drawing would be great. I am a welder and want to build one of those for my 70 blazer. Anything is appreciated! Thanks

Looks nice how much ? Would like to see some designs also .

tyger25 · 09-11-2003, 12:10 PM

Really looks good. NO ugly hitch sticking out, but still the same useability. Great work! I was looking for something like that.

Hey Blue 4x4 that truck is very sweeeeeet

2wdBlazer · 09-11-2003, 01:14 PM

What was the cost on that compared to the ECE kit?

truckresq · 09-30-2003, 04:01 PM

I still love that color

lewi · 09-30-2003, 06:15 PM

As 2wdblazer referred to, early classic enterprises has one that works great. You retain the use of your spare and was priced under $200.

Blue4x4 · 09-30-2003, 07:21 PM

this one would also retain the spare tire carrier....but I used that space for a rear fuel cell, boxed-in with 16 gauge steel. Frost said he would build one for about 150.00.

Sweet truck Blue

The early classic enterprises one will not work on 4X4 shortboxes unless you are willing to remove the spring supports to the frame on the back of the springs. I was not willing to do that so I built a hidden hitch somewhat like Bue4X4's.

lewi · 09-30-2003, 11:49 PM

great knowledge again on this board!!!!!!, mine is a 2wd longbed
