Question:
My frame is 34inch but, some other places I have looked at the hitch said, this will not fit. Is there a hitch that you would recommend?

Expert Reply:
If your 1989 Chevy truck is a cab and chassis model (these are the ones that come without beds that are then turned into service vehicles, flat beds, and that sort of thing) then hitch # 41947 will fit for sure. But apparently, for 1989, Chevy trucks with a long bed and crew cab had a 34 inch frame width. So in this generation of GM trucks there are some pickup models that have the 34 inch frame.
I also recommend etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK2416 which comes with a ball mount with a 3 inch rise/4 inch drop, 2 hitch balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use # HM41115 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. Or for a 7-Way you could use # 20023.
