Trailer hitch question

[polar]

So I have the street scene hidden hitch with the plate flip up kit. But I'm running into some problems. What hitch works with that hidden hitch?

"What hitch works with that hidden hitch" - huh?

Do you mean, what ball mount works with it? Roll pan receivers that mount behind the plate, on a sufficiently lowered truck (4/6, 5/7) want a straight-out ball mount to be level with your typical lightweight trailer. But the ideal tongue height of your trailer is the ultimate deciding factor. My little 4x8' utility but also a 20' car hauler trailer I used to have, were just right with the straight-out ball mount.

One kinda like this -

Best possible answer I've got for you at this point since you didn't really say what kind of problems you're having. Anyway I've got a roll pan hitch and flip plate bracket, and pulled trailers many, many times with no issues. One thing I do different than how I've seen a lot of others, I flip my plate down instead of up. Never gets in my way like that. I cheated and used an OEM plate fold bracket that I've had forever, if I recall it came off a bubble Caprice. Welded a couple scraps to it so it would bolt up in the right place to my pan - years ago on a previous truck, the pan on it didn't have anywhere down low to bolt to so I had to bolt up top.

I used a flip down bracket off of a '60's Impala. Originally had the plate bracket so that it flipped up, but got harassed by the boys in blue. The way the bracket was originally mounted pushed the plate out too far for it to be lit up by the light. With the bracket flipped, the top now sits in closer to the roll pan, and gets lit up better.

With the latest round of gang turf wars (murders, beatings, kidnappings, random house shoot-em-ups, drive-by's. etc.) the local cops will use any excuse to pull anyone over. They're under a lot of pressure right now.
Besides, this is the town the Bacon Brothers called home. Before THEY were gunned down! Lotsa wannabe's trying to fill their shoes.

I have always loved it done there, Grandparents lived in Summerland for number of years!

 

[sewlow]

Yup! That's exactly where I'd be! Summerland! How can a place with a name like that not be nice?

Didn't mean what hitch works with the hidden hitch. Was a long night last night. So what I need is a straight ball for it to work
