Good to hear from you, Ivan!
I have 2 different hitch options for your 1985 Chevy C10 pickup depending on what bumper you have on your truck:
- Standard/Step Bumper # 13028
- Deep drop Bumper # C13099
These are designed to hide the crosstube under your vehicle so the only part visible is the hitch receiver. If you check out the attached photo it was taken by a customer who installed the 13028 on their '86 C10 just to give you a reference.
