Good deal. Yes, getting that old receiver off can be a challenge. I had to use my 3/4" drive set (breaker bar and ratchet with pipe) and it fought me all the way, every bolt to the last thread. My 1/2" impact would not touch them and I did not have my 1" one then.
I went the Reese Tow Beast route. Back then they were one of the few who had a 2 1/2" receiver rated that high to fit the truck. Now there are a lot more companies providing and yes, the new Curt one is a beast. I put the 2" one on a 2500HD last fall for a camper friend.

Good luck with the hitch setup.
