I have not installed yet, but appears to be a very solid and well built hitch. Came with instructions and hardware to install on my 66 C-10.

Hitch has been great. It is on my 66 Chevy C-10. I had to remount my spare as the hitch got in the way, but that was no big deal



by:
1967 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

The quality of the CURT hitch is superb. Installation was s bit strange. One hole on each side lined up. I had to drill the other four. Not a big deal. The weird part is that the center section of the bumper where the license plate goes had to have 3/4 inch cut from the bottom and the license moved up 3/4 inch to clear the receiver.
Someone without a good workshop would not have been able to install this hitch.
This pic is before the license was moved up.

Awesome. I have pulled a 14 box trailer with my 67 Chevy C10 several times. No issues at all.



by:
1969 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Installed this on my 69' C-10 LWB about 1yr ago and have had very good success with it. As I recall it was a little more difficult because I set it forward a little more than normal and had to drill a couple holes. It wound up being almost a hidden hitch. Hitch appears to be well built with good looking welds. I have used this to tow 22' Ski boat on numerous occasions without any issues.

After another year the hitch is still performing as it should with no issues.

I installed this hitch receiver on m1971 c10, 8 ft. bed truck. The receiver is about an inch narrower than my frame railed. None of the bolt holes lined up. I did not flush the receiver with the license plate because the hooks for the chain would have been under the bumper. It is a sturdy and well receiver. The reason I gave it a 3 was because of the install process.

I apologize for the annoying install. Sometimes with older vehicles it can be hard especially if the hitch receiver was flexed. Here is more info about flex:



by:

First let start off by saying that from the time I ordered the hitch receiver, and the time it arrived at my doorstep was quite timely and much faster than other sites I have ordered parts from. Directions were simple enough to understand and not much of a read. Only problems I came across was the previous holes that were drilled into the frame did not match with the holes on the receiver (previous owner must have had a different style receiver installed). I wasn’t too upset at this as this was something I expected from a truck that is nearly 50 years old; simply fixed this by drilling new holes, which if I remember correctly, was stated to be expected during install. Along with this, I had to remove the exhaust tail pipes as they were in the way, but this shouldn’t be a problem if your vehicle has the exhaust directed out the side instead of straight back like mine. The directions state to use a 1/2 inch drill bit for the holes, but I found this to be too tight. I would recommend using a 5/8 inch bit or shimmying the 1/2 inch bit around while you drill. I would recommend you get a buddy to help, but in a case like mine, simple vice grips sufficed to hold the hitch receiver in place while I drilled. Should take about an hour with help and sharp drill bits. Overall was a good experience.



by:
1985 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Product and hardware are of good quality, only 1 hole on each side of my trucks frame lined up, so I had to drill more holes in the frame and line it up the best I could, also it didn’t clear the license plate frame on the bumper so I had to trim that about an inch, but in the end it looks good and feels secure, so I’m happy, I haven’t towed with it yet but I torqued the bolts up with a breaker bar so I’m sure it will be fine for a small boat.

When installing a trailer hitch like part # 13028 it is necessary to use a torque wrench to get the bolts to the right tightness. It is important to tighten bolts to the specified foot lbs in the instructions to avoid failure. Many auto parts stores lend out tools so you will not have to buy one in most cases.

Fit Nice on my 1964 chevy C 10 step side. tucked up nicely. had drill a couple of holes. very happy!!!



by:
Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Installed on my 86 Chevy C10. Had to modify a few things but not terrible. There were some brackets that connected the bumper to the frame that needed to be removed. I took a picture of the bracket loosely attached for reference. Also had to drill out some rivets in a piece of metal that connects the two frame rails. I took a picture of me pointing at the spot where the rivet was. So had to drill 4 holes total. Overall not too difficult and is pretty well hidden under the truck.



by:

Easy installation. Like that you can't see it except for the receiver itself



by:

Works great and fit as it should. Great instructions on the website as well!



by:

Nice high quality, easy to install, fast shipping, would recommend this hitch for 67-72 C10 truck. Exact fit to frame, and even used 2 existing holes. If hitch was made about 1 inch narrower would not even require any drilling. Thank you.



by:
1973 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Great product at a great price. Comes with all hardware and detailed instructions. Easy installation with a little drilling. Looks good and works great. I highly recommend this product to anyone. My 1973 Chevy is happy to have the addition.



by:
1987 GMC C/K Series Pickup

Ordered hitch Saturday night received it Wednesday evening. We had to do some adjustments bec only one of the holes on each side lined up so I had to drill 4 holes two on each side in order for it to go on and the rest was history.

Adam was so much help. It is so nice to work with a professional/company that is very knowledgeable about the products they sell. The whole ordering process was very quickly completed over the phone in a very professional manner. I have purchased from etrailer twice with great success. I highly recommend etrailer.

Product is as described. Got perfect on my 1987 Chevy
R/10 short bed 2wd. On my application I had to drill the
two holes closet to the cab. Easy install. Maybe 15 minutes max.



by:
Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup

Fast & accurate service. I installed the hitch on my 1972 C10. I used 2 existing holes and had to drill 4 new ones. I also had to shorten the license plate bracket to clear the receiver. It took longer to install than listed but I expected it based on other reviews. I'm pleased with the final result.

This Hitch Receiver was perfect for our 1972 GMC Sierra. Following directions, and making a slight modification to our license plate holder, it bolted right up! Thank you etrailer.com!

Another receiver assembly and it was exactly as described and worked perfectly as usual. Thank you guys for always filling my customer's needs!!!

It has been working well. I use it to pull a tumble bug round bale mover that I use to feed the cattle. It fit under my old bent bumper and is very sturdy.

It is still going strong.



by:

Received the hitch in a couple of days of ordering, well packed. As the instructions stated, approximately one hour to install. It would not have taken that long, (about 50 minutes), but the old receiver had to be removed first.
Well built, I believe I'll get as long a service out of this one as the last. Reason for replacement, could not remove hitch from old receiver, it was so rusted in, been in the receiver for 30 years, and I needed an adjustable hitch installed.
I'll be sure to keep this one lubed some.
Sorry, unable to post a picture, looks like the advertisement though.
This was my second purchase from etrailer, will not hesitate to buy from again, should I need what they have.

Hello JimWhen you installed this hitch, you mentioned that it was adjustable, was it adjustable by the width? Because Im not seeing where the adjustments are on the picture.

Jim meant that he needed to use an adjustable hitch or ball mount like part # CAB-UM. His old ball mount was frozen in the receiver of the hitch on the vehicle. The receiver hitch, the part that mounts to the vehicle, is not going to be adjustable.

Very good customer service. Order arrived early and Installation was easy with hardware provided.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Chevrolet C10
    The 1974 Chevrolet C10 is categorized as a C/K Series not a C-Series which I think may be where the problem lies. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13028 which is a confirmed fit for a Chevrolet C10 from 1963-1987. The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75500 is for a Chevrolet Suburban therefore would not work for you. Please note, there may be some slight modifications required such as drilling a hole or two into the frame or rerouting the tail pipes...

    This will fit your 1985 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup as long a you have an 8 foot bed and a deep drop bumper. You will have to drill six 7/32 inch holes in order to install this Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13099, but you will not need to do any welding. If you had a 6 foot bed, you would want a Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13028. I attached installation instructions for all of these hitches below for you to check out also.

One of our most popular hitch receivers is the Curt Class IV Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C14081. I have included a short installation video for you.

  • Hitch for 1986 Chevy K10 Pickup Truck without Rear Bumper
    As long as the truck doesn't have a roll pan, you can certainly install a hitch even though the truck doesn't have a bumper. If a 6000 lb towing/600 lb tongue weight capacity would work for you, I'd recommend the Curt Class III receiver hitch, part # 13028. If you'd like a hitch with a bit more capacity (which could be limited by the towing capacity of the truck if it's lower), the Curt Class IV hitch, part # C14082 is what I'd recommend. The Curt # C14006 you'd looked at is a fit for...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 1977 Chevy C10 Pick-up with 6 Foot Step Side Bed
    We do have trailer hitches that will fit your 1977 Chevy C10 short bed but # C13099 is only for long bed models. For your truck you can use Curt trailer hitch # 13028 unless it has the 10 inch deep drop bumper. If it does have the deep drop bumper you can use # C15511. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball...

  • Will Curt Hitch Fit 1986 Chevy Short Bed Pickup
    The Curt # 13028 is designed to fit the 1981 - 1987 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup 6 Foot Bed with Standard or Step Bumper. Assuming everything with the frame is the same as it was from the factory this hitch will line up and fit your 1986 Chevy. It sounds to me like you took measurements on the truck and compared them to the diagram below and it does not match. If that is the case, the only option would be to weld on a universal hitch like the # 41990-07 or have a custom hitch fabricated...

This product is a confirmed fit for your truck as long as it does not have the 10-inch bumper.

  • Dimensions of Hitch Opening of Curt Hitch #13028
    The hitch tube of the Curt Hitch part # 13028 is going to be right at 4-1/2 inches below the frame it connects to and the opening would then be right at 7 inches forward of the rear most mounting hole. You'd have to compare that to your vehicle to determine where that would place the hitch opening relative to your vehicle.

  • What do Trailer Acronyms GTW and TW Mean
    In the trailer world GTW stands for Gross Trailer Weight, and TW means tongue weight. Gross trailer weight is the entire weight of the trailer and tongue weight is the amount of vertical load that is on the coupler of the trailer. Basically how the vertical weight that the trailer hitch carries. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1985 Chevy Van with 34 inch Frame
    Since your van frame is 34 inches outside to outside that means your van was built on a truck "cab and chassis" frame so you need a hitch like the Curt part # 13028 which is designed for that frame dimension.

  • Does My U-Haul Hitch Allow me to Tow a Trailer or Attach an Accessory?
    We are not associated with, U-Haul, but I can definitely give you an answer! In order to know for sure if you can tow or carry a flat cargo carrier with your hitch, it really depends on the overall construction of the hitch. Even though most hitches are constructed to use for towing and to carry hitch-mounted accessories, it is always a good ideal to consult with the owner's manual of the hitch in order to make sure. Also, it is important not to exceed the hitch's maximum tongue weight...

    All of the trailer hitch options for the 1987 GM C and K series trucks will have the receiver placed directly under the rear bumper. There are no custom fit models that will fit behind the license plate. What you could do though is have a professional installer weld on a hitch, # 41990-07. This is actually a Class V hitch but it still has a 2 inch receiver.
