Hello Doug, thanks for reaching out. In regards to the B&W Heavy-Duty Trailer Hitch Receiver # BWHDRH25198 the distance from the mounting surface to the top of the receiver tube is 7.9". Take a look at the picture I included.
The # BWHDRH25198 will fit the 1983 Chevy C/K series pickup with the 8' bed.

Hi Doug, how did the hitch work out for your Chevy pickup with the 8' bed? I'm curious to know if the clearance was sufficient with your bumper. Your experience could really help others with similar setups.
