That's what I ended up doing on my '63.

There is an inverted "U" shaped crossmember at the rear; I cut the end mounting brackets off the hitch and slid it up inside that crossemember, attached with several horizontal bolts.

Not "vintage" or "correct", but I do like the fact that the ball is not always visible, and it allows me to adjust the ball height as I see fit by using different stubs, and I didn't spend a lot of time trying to chase down the right bumper hitch (which I wasn't having much success with).
