Frame hitch

[rjewkes]

speaking of the difs between frame widths if i got a reese reciever hitch that fit 73-now would it fit at all?

If it is a one piece and is for a wide frame then no. I have two here, one is a one piece and one has removable ends. On the one with removable ends there are two sets of holes for the ends to bolt to. The sad part is the one with the removable ends is on my 77 4X4 and I need it for my crew cab and the one piece unit is on my parts truck. Just one more project I didn't need! LOL Hawkrod

The one I just picked up is the same way...it's more of a universal-type receiver that can be adjusted to various frame widths, depending on how it's assembled. However, I found that I'm going to have to fabricate some spacers to fit between the receiver's side rails and the receiver tube, since it's too narrow one way and too wide the other.

Just make sure the hitch you get is for (or can be converted to) a 34" frame and you'll be fine.

Yeah, I am thinking what you have is not specifically a Ford application and just univeral or brand X. The one I have is specific for a Ford but will fit both frame widths. I actually bought it new because I could not find one in a wrecker. Now I see them all the time! LOL Hawkrod
