j10 trailer hitch

I can take a picture of my stock tow hitch so you can see how they attached one the factory

Bolted to the frame on either side

I think the horizontal bolt is for the hitch and the vertical one is for the spare tire

That's a wagon hitch, J-truck frames are wider at the rear. I have one on my J20 not sure when I can get pics though.

That would be awesome I am planning on doing it once I have the underbody painted

I got a rusty one from a parts J10, welded a new receiver tube on and had it powdercoated.

What was this hitch actually made for? Or is it a no longer made hitch

J-truck specific
Draw-tite 41010
U-haul also had them.
Probably out of production since late 80's.
I bought one for $50 back then.

You would have to buy that hitch from me since that is the picture I posted about 10 years ago when I found out U-haul still sold them. After I posted on IFSJA that U-haul had them they sold out in about three hours. Glad to see that hitch picture is useful as a reference. Not to make you sick or anything but I still have that hitch and it has never been mounted. Unfortunately for the rest of the world that hitch is slated to go on my J10 project truck.

I bought a $250 J10 to get the hitch I fixed for my J20.

As far as I know and was told, based on your posting, I bought the last U-Haul hitch in inventory.
It was shipped from someplace in New England and took forever to get here.
It is currently installed on my J20.

Zack from Z&M Jeeps has the pattern and builds J Truck hitches on order.
