For the 1983 GMC Vandura 2500, I recommend using the Curt hitch item# C13016 because the hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper and has a higher towing capacity of 6k lbs. I've included a link for the installation instructions.
If you are also looking for a wiring harness I would recommend the Tekonsha kit # 118338. view full answer...
The bolt holes on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75121 are spread 41" on center from the drivers side to passenger side frame. The 2 closest holes are spread 1-5/8" on center with the single hole being 8-5/8" from the nearest mounting hole as seen in the image I created below. view full answer...
