I have an OEM hitch on it's way to me but it doesn't have any of the bolts on it (and I don't have an OEM hitch already). Does anyone know what size bolts are required (and how many of each) OR a place where I can get a bolt package for an OEM hitch?
When I got mine (Putco OEM equivalent) it came with 2 nuts on a fairly long piece of wire that you have to feed inside the tube to have the ability to line them up to start threading in the bolts. Can't remember but it was a PIA, and also can't remember how I torqued them (musta been able to put a stubby in there). I'm gettin old but not crazy. I am speaking BTW of the curved frame piece and also learned that if you buy a used 1500 and want to know if it had a prior hitch, just tap that part of the frame and if it did there will be two nuts floating around in there loose (as I found out).
So that said good luck as you may have to ducktape your nuts to a coathanger to get yourself properly hitched...
