I installed a Class III on a '92. It required drilling (I think) 4 holes
about 1/2" in diameter. It was not easy drilling by my drill bit was not as
sharp as it could have been. I drilled smaller pilot holes first of course.
The tricky part was there are two c-frame adapters/spacers that I also had
to install. It was difficult to maneuver everything into place working
alone as the hitch is somewhat heavy and awkward. If you have someone to
help you hold it while marking for screw holes and installing it that would
help, but a Class II probably won't weight quite as much anyway.
