Re: Reciever hitch
It should work I took one off an 88 F-150 and made it work on my 86 silverado by drillin out the front mounting holes

Re: Reciever hitch
Ity wont work. Burb/ Blazer frames bend down at the rear, so the hitch is built to compensate for that, truck frames are straight, so you need a truck hitch for a truck and a burb/blazer hitch for a burb/blazer.

Re: Reciever hitch
