    Thanks, Bob. I too think it will fit. Unfortunately its on the other side of Australia from me. I have a mate there who can check out its condition but he doesn't

    1970 GTO tow hitch fit a '69 Skylark?

    Will a tow hitch from a '70 GTO fit a '69 Skylark? I can get the GTO one locally (well at least in Australia) and wonder if anyone can confirm the interchange?

    Thanks for all replies,

    I've pretty much got the disc conversion done, about 90%. Some minor problems with the kit.

    The kit usually comes with a 1" M/cyl, I went for a 1 1/8",since thats what GM used back in the day.

    It looks like 71-84 Holden springs interchange. So I can shop locally & talk directly to the spring makers. And save some coin too.

    Gotta love GM interchangeability!!
