Roll Pan with Hidden Hitch
I want to buy a roll pan and a hidden hitch for my next project. I have been searching the internet for roll pans and have boiled it down to two differnt roll pans. One is from Cervini's Auto, the other is from Lund. I will post links to both pans, but there differnces are small, but i am leaning towards the Lund. Anyway, my question is, in order to make the roll pan looks its best, I need to replace my current hitch with a hidden hitch that will compliment its new look. I was curious, will the "hidden hitch" hide itself any better than the one i have now? I just got the other one last year when i bought the truck, and i hate ot have to replace it, but thats what moddifiers do, they modify. So, I didnt know if any of you have done this either. Its a 1995 F350. Thanks guys any input would be nice.

I'm getting ready to do the same thing.
I have a rollpan that I bought used and it has a hole in it behind were the license plate goes.
I think you get a spring loaded plate mount and the plate flips up or down so you can put the hitch ball in the receiver.
This way the hitch is totally hidden. That's the way I understand it anyway.
I will have to get the new hitch and get rid of my other one.

I think you have to get the license plate mount separate.

This one shows what I want it to look like when I'm done. Pretty cool.

Ya,,I went ahead and ordered it all.I don't toe much with my truck so it should work out ok for me.
Good luck with your pan. If your hitch is down under the bumper now you should be able to get the rollpan on there ok.

on the flip up license plate, i went to junk yard and got one from a 1970s model car that had a gas tank filler in the rear, but that was a few years and they have probly sent a lot of them to crushers, i think that they charged me like five bucks or something,

Well when i got my truck back finally from the body shop, I was slightly dissapointed when i saw how exposed the hitch was with the roll pan. So as a alternative option i had the hitch painted the same color as the truck and bam, it came out smoking, pics soon!
