I put one on my Ranchero, so it should be about the same. I had a leftover receiver-type hitch from a 1990 Dodge Minivan (it was also on my 1998 Dodge minivan)that I used. I pulled the four bolts that hold on the rear bumper brackets on the Ranchero, then cut two HEAVY pieces of angle iron about 10" long. I matched the hole locations where the bumper brackets holes went, and using new grade 8 bolts, bolted the angle iron to the car. Then I held up the hitch and marked the location for the four bolt holes for the hitch. Make sure the receiver is below your license plate--you may need to space it down a little--I missed this and had to notch my license plate. When you're done you have a nearly invisible hitch that's way stronger and way better looking than those little bumper hitches. Plus you can take the ball part off and save your shins. Best of all, it's cheap if you can scrounge the pieces.
