38" Frame Width????

I've got a receiver tow hitch I'm trying to get rid of, it looks like a pretty universal design. It's 38"wide and I'm wondering what year/make of trucks had a 38" frame width. I've had it on craigslist as is but no one's interested since I can't tell them what it might fit.

Anyone know?

Off the top of my head it'll fit any pre 1997 F150 and any pre 2005 Dodge Dakota. I'm sure there must be other's as well.

that is the width of Dodge's 2nd generation (1994-2001) (I believe) not sure about other years.

Post a photo or two of this thing---show a tape measure to better illustrate what this might fit.

Could it be a hitch designed to fit a motor home chassis?
