Question:
I need a locking hitch-pin that fits the Chevrolet K2500 with the OEM Class V hitch. The usable area of the shaft must be approximately 3 3/4inch long. Will this fit this application? If not do you carry a locking hitch-pin that fits? It has to be 5/8inch in order to fit through the adapter.

Expert Reply:
You might be able to use Blue Ox pin # BX88212 which measures 4-3/8 inches between the ends so it will work.
The best way to measure to ensure the clearance needed is to use a tape measure that is small enough to fit through the hitch pin holes. Then measure the outside to outside width of the hitch that way.
