like a factory gm hitch? I think I picked one up not too long ago, at least a dealer installed one. Or do you want he 2" receiver style? The dealer install one I have is from a 78 I believe.

My 79 has a big plate under the license plate. With a 2" receiver under it.

This is the factory optioned one off my 76 blazer

Stoney · 02-13-2012, 11:13 PM

Thats it.

2ndGenRR · 02-14-2012, 11:42 AM

My '90 Blazer has the same one...with the plate.

Stoney · 02-14-2012, 12:15 PM

Are they all the same mounting thru the years? Mine is 1984
Where can I find one?

**special-K** · 02-14-2012, 02:17 PM

My '85 Jimmy has the plate and so do my '91 and '85 Suburbans. All are factory equipped,like russgt showed.

Stoney · 02-14-2012, 02:22 PM

Thanks, Tim
I wasn't lucky enough to get one.
I like your Jimmy.

**special-K** · 02-14-2012, 02:46 PM

Are you going to get one?I'm sure you can find one near you since they range in many years and models. I imagine the pickup are the same or can be made to work (if the gas tanks change anything). I'm parting my '01 but these things I reckon would cost like shipping a boat anchor.

Stoney · 02-14-2012, 02:58 PM

Yes, I am going to try the local junkyard this weekend. I wanted a picture and some opinions on what to look for. The hitches today show the tubing and look horrible.
The shipping would probably cost more than the hitch.
Thanks for the pics.

I stumbled in here from the truck area, but do you guys know if these hitches will fit a truck? Reason I ask is because I have a sport bumper, so one of these would be a pretty good match if it would work. I'm not sure how similar the rear frames sections are though.

68Timber · 02-21-2012, 10:13 PM

I don't recall seeing those before or if I did, I thought it was aftermarket. How were those equipped with the "hoop" bolted under the bumper supported?

They are slightly different, maybe off by an inch or so width wise.

thirdstreettito · 02-22-2012, 09:58 PM

Here's the Valley V-5 on our 83. Stock as far as we know.

And the stock one on my 88.

**special-K** · 02-24-2012, 09:41 AM

The Valley hitch is aftermarket.
