Today on this 2003 Chevrolet Express Van we are going to install part number 82580 from
Hidden Hitch. This also applies to part number 41521 from Draw-Tite. First we will show you
where the hitch mounts up onto the frame of the vehicle. This will be a very easy hitch
to install too so that will be nice. It is going to use existing holes in the frame of
the van. Right now we are looking at the driver side. We are going to use this one here, here,
and right here just behind the spring hanger. This is going to be identical on both sides
of the vehicle. 00:30 We will get right to installing the hardware
inside the frame of the vehicle itself. You will notice on the hardware kit there is going
to be two different size blocks. You have got this bigger block and this smaller block.
This bigger block gets installed behind this frame member here. The small blocks will go
up towards the bumper. We can lift the hitch in position. It is going to be a good idea
to have an extra set of hands at this point. When we install the hitch on to the bolts
we use a conical tooth washer and a nut. 00:57
