That set up doesn't look to bad, I'll be checking to see how it works out. I've seen some flareside trucks with that bumper and it would be so much easier to mount a hitch or at least a ball to it. I'm thinking about scheduling an appointment with a local custom hitch company to see what they can do.

I have been wanting to put a trailer hitch on my truck for a while now, but have been skeptical. I have a 81 step side that did not come with a factory hitch or bumper that had ball mounts ( custom truck). With what I've been told, I would have to remove the spare tire to install a standard class 3 or 4 receiver. This puzzles me as the receiver mounts to the bottom of the frame, not the top or inside the channels. Has anyone mounted a hitch on a stepside? And did you have to move the tire? And how difficult was it for you?
If you want more information regarding this item, you can contact Hitchweb (I got this information from their website) listed here: Class 4 / 5 Hitch Ford Pickup
I hope all this information helps!
