any one have the trick setup for a tow bar on a 91 k5 ?
pics would be nice
its all stock except for a 4" lift and 35" tires
want something that looks concealed when the tow bar is not attached.
i have no issues with getting something custom made but just want to do it right the first time.
also thinking about doing a hidden winch so might try and do both at the same time

Here is mine. It is made from welding two receiver hitch pockets to the front frame rails. I have a body lift on my K5, so not sure if they would weld up the same way if you don't have the body lift. When you take the bar off the only thing you can see are the hitch holes in the lower valance. Mine is held in the "up" position with two trailer hitch pins that go through the bumper "horns" that have the rubber strip on them.

i can take pics of mine that his hanging on my wall... I dont use anymore ...

it is the typical A frame part.. then you actually just lay these 4 U style pieces over and under left and right of the bumper.. crank the wings down and it is golden...

best part is it comes 100% off with no bolting or drilling. my father made it yeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrsssssssssssssss ago... but now I have tube bumpers and cant use it.
in a mess of years when I get a tow rig I want to make something to connect the tow bar back up...

Off topics a bit, but is that a 39 Cig Top Gun in your signature?
