Question:
The question is I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD work truck I have enclosed pictures what I dont understand is does this trailer fit or do I have to get a service trailer hitch because I have a work body on the back which requires welding for the service trailer hitch the other trailer hitch I already drilled the holes so does this one fit so I can start making some money lol

Hi Andrew; the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15400 is designed for the 2008 Silverado 3500 cab and chassis. The work truck model is built on the cab and chassis platform so this hitch will fit. You can double check this by measuring your frame width which should be 34".
However, I'm not sure about the holes you already drilled in the frame for that other hitch. If they're really close to any of the factory holes that might compromise the capacity. If that is the case, you are better off welding on # 41990-07.

Hey Andrew, did you have a chance to measure your frame width to ensure the Curt Trailer Hitch fits your Silverado? I'm curious to know if you went with the welding option for the Draw-Tite hitch, as it might help others in similar situations.
