I would like to find a good class four receiver for you 1986 Short wheel Base Chevy. New or good used. Or where is the best deal on new receivers. Thanks

86swb · 12-09-2007, 08:04 AM

Nobody?

Curly86 · 12-10-2007, 01:53 AM

What part of Western Ky r you in? I'm in Lewisburg just north of Russellville, I have a hitch with the receiver with it I think it is class 5 will have to check it tommorrow and let you know will let it go for $50. It was for a Ford f150 but I fixed it to fit my 86 Silverado SWB will let you know.

86swb · 12-10-2007, 09:24 AM

I am in Mayfield. Yes, let me know. If it worked on your '86swb it should work on mine I would think. I do not have a spare tire back there. Thanks

If his dont work out I have one off an 82 swb 4x4, it is made by valley hitches. Just let me know, Kaysen

Curly86 · 12-10-2007, 07:43 PM

Sorry I didn't get a chance to check the hitch I had something come up and it will be next weekend before I can get to it. A friend of mine has it at his shop for sale for me. As soon as I get home next Friday I will get it. If you don't find another hitch before then and we could workout something. Maybe we could meet halfway somewhere. Will let you know something as soon as I can. Thanks Curly

I've got one off of my 82, practically new, bought it in May after getting the truck but since I have lowered it quite a bit, not planning on towing. It is a Putnam, I bought it for 108.00 new...will sell for $50 plus shipping. I have all the mounting bolts and shims and a receiver.

Kaysenmc · 12-12-2007, 08:30 PM

Turns out my brother wants it for his 84, sorry... If something changes ill put you first in line. Kaysen

What is different on the SWB as opposed to a LWB? I have a hitch for my 82 LWB, but that won't work? Never payed much attention to how the frame looks between the two.

86swb · 12-13-2007, 08:09 AM

I am not really sure but they are different. But thanks.

86swb · 12-13-2007, 08:12 AM

I am pretty sure I will be getting curly86 hitch. He is going to email me a picture and we can mee half way to pick up.

bobbo · 12-15-2007, 02:37 AM

Checked yesterday with my supplier on the hitches and the one I have will work for an 86 SWB...FYI.

Looks like Putnam does not make these for my '86 Short Bed.
