need Receiver Hitch 72 lbflt

[merlynski]

I am looking for a bolt on receiver hitch for a '72 long bed 1/2 ton pu.
Class 4 or 5, 2". (15000lb/500 lb or better)
Anybody know a source, brand, model etc?
I am not having much luck
(I know that is more load than the truck will carry safely, I like the safety margin , I don't intend to overload it)
Thanks much!

Thank you. NAPA came up with the third one down on the second link for about the same price. It was the second try for them, the first they sold me was wrong, but they did take it back. no problem.

Correct hitch for 72

so if the link is still correct, are you saying the
2013 Chevrolet Express 2500 hitch will work on a 1972 Chevy truck?
Thanks, Mike T

IF the link still lists the same one I bought it was a "drill the frame and bolt it in" installation. That was several years ago (before 2013), though I still have the truck with the hitch on it, I don't think I have any of the paperwork to be sure. The one I got from NAPA was the one they listed for the '72 long bed.
