Yes. I bought a class 5 hitch for a Chevy 3500. The frame rail width is exactly the same as my M934. I thought I had some pictures but can’t find them. I’ll go take some and show you what I did. I went with Class 5 because I haul a 32’ covered trailer with my M37 and M151 inside. The trailer weight is about 14,000. I built a converter to conver 24 volt lights to 12 volt. I also added an electric break control. PM me if you want to discuss on the phone.
I've seen some pics of guys using class 5 hitch on the m923, my concern is the frame is shorter than like a m923 if that makes sense. I can try to upload a couple pics of what i mean .

here is what I did to mine, took some time but turned out nice. So far has held up well. Also gave me a spot to mount my license place. Hope this helps.
Looks great! That's above my personal skill level but If I have to have someone make me one I can show them the pic of it. Thanks

My M934 is longer than a M923 but I think the way I mounted it would work. You need about 18” of frame rail to bolt up to. I had to move the glad hands but that was the easy part. The hardest pard was drilling 6 - 5/8” holes in the frame. The steel is quite hard.

I don't think that will work for me I don't have enough room. I have about a foot of useable space on the frame rail. I'll try to take a couple photos of it.
