You mean to say you don't have any RV businesses in your neck of the woods?

What city are you near?

How about looking up Hitches in the phone book?

Try your local RV dealership. They should have hitches for every vehicle.

Most of the dealers are not likely stock the hitch for your 83 anymore. I'm sure Reese, Drawtite or U-Haul could get you one in a couple of days from one of their distribution centers. Otherwise
you'd probably be stuck finding one off an old motorhome.

Have you thought about having a weld shop custom make one for you?

Advance auto parts should be able to get you a custom Valley Hitch. I got one (9000lb) for my truck for about $120. It was ordered and arrived the next day.

Go to hitch-web.com and check out their selection. They have class IV for your vehicle. All of their prices include shipping and are still better than U-Haul's prices.

Check out Nothern Tool.

I bought a class IV/V for my truck for about $125, I think. It is a really nice product. You do have to drill the frame, but it only took about an hour to install.
