The Buyers Products Flatbed/Flatbed Dump Hitch Plate Bumper with 2" Receiver # 3371809055 is designed or flatbeds and flatbed dump trucks. While it is ready to mount on Ford trucks, there is some drilling required for GM trucks. This hitch is a universal fit so while I can't really confirm a fit on your 1987 Chevy R30, I have attached a photo showing some of the basic dimensions that you can compare with your truck. If you have any other questions please let me know!
