does anyone out there have hitch on their truck. i have the bed off mine and am looking at the frame, there appears to be bumper extensions (not very thick) and the c-channel frame is a good 10" behind this. where do you guys mount the hitch?! to make matters worse the dual exhaust follows the fram rails straight out the back. it is a lond bed 72 with leaf spring rear suspension. i was hoping to find a comparably wide hitch and weld and bolt it on. i could reroute the exhaust if needed. ive got a 16ft trailer i need to tow.
