Trailer Hitch Fit for a 1972 Chevy C20 with Step Bumper

Question

Question:

I have a 1972 Chevy C20 pickup with a dealer step bumper. The bottom of the bumper is about 4.75inch below the frame 24.75inch from ground to frame, 20inch from ground to bottom of bumper, and sticks out about 9.5inch from the end of the frame. Will the Draw-Tite #41001 fit my truck and clear the bumper? What other Class III or IV hitches will fit my truck?

Thanks for the picture of the rear of your 1972 Chevy C20. Based on that it looks like you would need a hitch for a drop bumper setup like the Draw Tite part # 41504 so that it would clear the bumper.
