Looking for a hitch for my 69 on a 72 F250 4x4 frame.

Any recomendations. Thanks.

I used one from a dodge truck 94 95 96 . The only thing I had to do was cut it down to fit the frame an re-weld it. It works great!

I'm looking for one to fit my 70 F-250. Hitch shop had a Class III (Acme I think) they said would work, but I really wanted at least a Class IV receiver. LMC Truck has one rated a Class III too. Tractor Supply has a Class IV Multi Fit by Reese that I am thinking about modifying to work. It is rated at 7000 lb max trailer weight carrying, and 12,000 lb with a weight distributing hitch. You will have to make two 1 inch thick spacers to use this unit though. Going to try to find some info on Reeses Titan Hitches, they have a 2.5 inch receiver box, and are rated a Class V with 12,000 lb weight carrying and 14,000 lb distributing.

I'm also in the process of measuring my truck for a B&W turnover hidden gooseneck ball hitch the trailer shop thinks will work.
