I wonder if you can buy those crossmembers new. They always seem to rust firstWhat a rust bucket!
At least there is room to work, and I have less fear of the spare falling off and hurting someone!

For some reason the board eats the link. Replace the (dot) with a . to see the link.
Not 100% sure on the specs, my father bought the hitch used at a yard sale 25+ years ago but took some measurements and photos for you!do you know the specs of those hitch bolts?
My hitch only has 2 of 6 bolts on it LOL. Noticed before i tried towing anything with it and the old ones are obviously undersized (lots of washers and like 3/8" bolts.
I need to go to lowes to pick me up some but couldnt find the specs online for them, or find a hitch hardware kit.
I'm almost 100% certain you can, I also need to replace the cross member behind the cab that supports the fuel tank. From what I can tell that one is a bolt in piece, the spare though looks pressed in/so might need to be welded.I wonder if you can buy those crossmembers new. They always seem to rust first
Thanks!Not 100% sure on the specs, my father bought the hitch used at a yard sale 25+ years ago but took some measurements and photos for you!
I do know that I used a 6 point 3/4 inch socket to remove Both nut and bolt heads. Also 19mm 6 pt socket fit.
Not sure if I can clean these bolts up and reuse them, but might be replacing like you are.
Hope this helps!
