Anyone have experience w/ this tow hitch?

http://www.etrailer.com/pc-H~11711.htm?vehicleid=19906171


I want to tow a small trailer behind my 90 350sdl to carry ~200 gallons of veggie oil.

If you do a search here for "aftermarket trailer hitch" or "Da'Lan" you will probably find photos of one installed. From what I've read here, they are about the only manufacturer of an aftermarket hitch for these cars. Which is surprising, considering the price they want for such a simple little hitch.

heres a 126 body receiver hitch for $109, free ship. will it fit?

I got one (curt)from jcw for my TD, about 1/2 price as other places, same item.

I think curt and dalan are now the same. I did get a dalan unit- which was the wrong application, shipped first time- was packed wrong at the factory(curt co in eau claire, WI)- they overnighted me the right one.

Hmmm, I'm not sure. When I went to the Curt Mfg. site, here is what it shows:http://www.curtmfg.com/index.cfm?event=hitch

Personally, I like the increased stability that should be present with the wider hitch. Of course the ultimate question, does it fit?
I have only seen the Da'Lan hitch if photos on this website.
