Does anyone have a picture of a hidden receiver hitch? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a hitch for my Blazer to haul my boat with and I read a thread about Early Classic's hidden hitch. Does anyone have input or pictures regarding hidden hitchs?

Thanks.

What kind of boat do you have? I'd love to haul my boat with my blazer once it's 2wd, but I don't think it would do too well on the ramps around here, especially with a 29 footer.

I've got a Moomba Mobius. It's 21.5 feet long. I think (really hope) it depends on the ramp. The Tahoe pulls it out in 2WD fine but it does have all-terrain tires on it.
Luckily I don't have to pull it out but once or twice a year. It stays at the lake house throughout the summer.

I can snap a few pics of mine real quick

Alright, got some.

I wouldn't have any concerns about the hitch in that situation. If the truck can handle it, the hitch can.

Where did you get it?

Thanks for the pictures.

Very happy with the hitch. When it used to be my mom's truck we would constantly take it on about 220 mi. drives with a 20' flatbed trailer with a quad and sand rail on it and we've never had any problems with it

As for where I got it, my dad says he picked it up in some catalog, but he doesn't remember which.

I emailed hidden hitch and they replied that they don't make a hitch for blazers older than 1973?

Any part numbers on your hitch?

I can check it when I get a chance, but I might have found a site that sells them

I bought an Early Classic Hitch back in 2006 or so and installed it on my '69. Never have towed with it. They still sell it, currently for $239.00

www.earlyclassic.com click their Catalog link.
