Hello,
I have just purchased a 1995 Red L. Its main purpose will be daily
transportation and towing my 87 Grand National. Ive been looking into
the hidden trailer hitches and roll pans.

Any one with experience and opinions on these that can point me in the right
direction?. Ive been looking in Trucking magazine, but many times
their ads are confusing. Also i would prefer a fiberglass roll pans,
as the metal ones do not have the look i want. I know i will likely
have to reinforce the roll pan but that wont be a problems.
Thanks in
advance.

I just installed a hidden hitch on my truck with a bell-tech roll pan. I ended up finding a kit that bolts onto the roll pan and swings up so you can put the trailer hitch receiver in. It is kind of hard to explain. I will get some pictures up of it as soon as I can. The only thing with this setup is that you have to cut your roll pan. It required patients and time but well worth it. Now when I am not towing anything you can't tell I have a trailer hitch.

Thats exactly what Im looking for. Who makes the hitch you use? Did you have to relocate your spare?

Here are some pics of the hidden hitch that I installed on my truck behind the roll pan. Sorry some of these are hard to make out but this should give you an idea of what it looks like.

Oh, I just thought of something, I put the licence plate lights off my tube bumper on my rollpan and it doesnt look like the flip up will clear based on those nice pics. Oh well. Anyway, You got to love this bulletin board for all the nice features it has. Damn this is a good club. Oh another thing anyone interested in a 94 pink tube bumper minus the license plate lights? It's straight.

Steve, I mounted the plate lights on the sides on my Downs pan.



Don't know if it will clear the bed, but I need a new roll pan anyway... that Bell Tech and gizmo may be the way to go (I already have a hidden receiver).
