Expert Answers about Ford F-100, F-150, F-250, F-350


  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 70s Ford F-250 with Flatbed
  • We do offer trailer hitch options for a 1972 Ford F-250 but as far as the flatbed goes, this will be up to you to decide as none of our options are designed for this use. However, the best option would be to go with one that is designed for models with a deep drop tube bumper as this would give you the best chance of compatibility. The Curt 3-Piece Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15511 is what I recommend and there's a photo below to help you determine compatibility.

  • 7 Pole Wiring Repair for 1991 Ford F-250 Diesel Truck
  • The # 118316 T-One connector is the correct replacement harness for the 1991 F-250 and should replace the 4 way connector on your pickup as long as no modifications have been made. If there is some other connection you could send me a picture or let me know what it is and where it is connected and I will try to help you out. If the T connector will work you can use the 4 pole to 7 pole adapter, part number # 37185, to complete the rewire of your 7-way connector. If you do not already...

  • Base Rails and Brackets Needed to Mount Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hitch on 1969 Ford F-250
  • For your older Demco FWH-24P SL 21 Hijacker the correct base rails are the SL Series # DM6012. These base rails are unique to the SL Series hitches like what you have and they will run vertical along the truck bed (as opposed to horizontally across like most do). I called my contact at Demco to find the correct mounting brackets you need to install the rails on your 1969 Ford F-250. He stated that you will need to use the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8553003. He said that these will fit...

  • What Needs to Install in Bed of 1979 Ford F100 to Install Fifth Wheel Hitch
  • To install a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of your 1979 Ford F100 truck will require you to install a fifth wheel rail kit. For that you would want the part # RP30035. This will give you the attachment point needed for the hitch to fit in and tow your trailer. I attached a link to the install instructions and an install video on a Ford truck for you to check out as well.

  • How Does 7-Way and Brake Controller Install in 1973 Ford F-350
  • For a truck as old as yours it would be pretty hard to find a wiring diagram for installing the 7-way part # 20023 but I can help you figure it out using a circuit tester like the part # PTW2993. Basically you are going to need to test all of the wires of your taillights to determine their function and then wire to the 7-way using the included diagram. Now hardwiring in a brake controller will be a similar process but you'll only have to test the wires at the brake switch till you find...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Compatible with 1968 Ford Truck
  • The Draw-Tite 75315 hitch has been discontinued, but is only a fit for Ford Full Size Vans. It will not fit a Ford Truck. For your 1968 Ford Truck, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III # 41001 which is a confirmed fit. I've attached a video of this installation on a 1978 Chevy but the installation is the same.

  • Bulldog Inner Tube Gooseneck Coupler Availability that is 4 inches In Diameter
  • Since you need a 4 inch diameter pipe the best option we have is the part # BD0287610300 as it has a 4 inch outer diameter whereas the # BD0287690300 that you referenced would be too wide at 4-1/2 inches. Or the part # CG would work too as it is 4 inch diameter and has no pin holes.

  • Brake Controller and Install Wiring Recommendation for 1971 Ford F-250
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 18252. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

  • Replacement Roof Vent Lid Recommendation for 1993 Lance Squire 4000

  • Gooseneck Hitch Recommendation for 1973 Ford F-100
  • I wish we had a B and W Turnover gooseneck hitch fit for your 1973 Ford F-100 but B and W does not have any fits that go back that far. We'd only really be able to help with with a universal setup like the Buyers Products Gooseneck Hitch Plate # 3373014981 which would need to be bolted to the truck's frame and body or can be welded to the floor of a structural steel bed.

  • Installation of 7-Way RV Connector on 1981 Ford F-250
  • If your 1981 Ford F-250 already has a 4-way connector installed simply add etrailer"s Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller, # ETBC7. This kit includes everything you need to install an electric trailer brake controller and 7-way connector. If your truck does not already have a 4-way flat installed, use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness, # HM40115 to install the 4-way flat connector first. Please note the linked product videos below along with a couple...

  • Is The Furrion Marine Speaker # FMS5B A 30 Watt Speaker?
  • The newer Furrion Marine Speaker - Recessed Mount - 5" Diameter - 30 Watts - Black - Qty 1 # FMS5B now says 15 watts on the back of the speaker. With that said it is still a 30 watt speaker, but Furrion decided to put the minimum wattage instead of the maximum wattage though the ratings of the speaker stayed the same. I included a video of the # FMS5B for you to take a look at.

  • Recommended 5th Wheel Hitch or Gooseneck Hitch Compatible with 1962 Ford Truck with 34 Inch Frame
  • For your 1962 Ford F-350 dually with 34 inch frame, there is not a fit for a standard 5th wheel hitch and base rails. Because of this, I recommend the Reese Low-Profile 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 30,000 lbs # RP30054 for your 5th wheel hitch because the RBW Lil Rocker won't be a fit. You can alternatively use the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1500 and then either use an adapter hitch or pin box adapter for compatibility....

  • Hitch Option for a 1960 Ford F100
  • We don't have any custom fit hitches confirmed to fit your 1960 Ford F-100, but a multi-fit hitch like the # 41990-07 could possibly work. I'd recommend using a hitch like this or having one professionally fabricated by a qualified welder.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 1976 Ford F150 with a Deep Drop Bumper
  • A roll pan bumper is a bumper that basically makes the rear bumper look as if it does not stick out further than the rest of the truck and that is molded into the rear of the truck. Its basically a cosmetic modification that you see on a lot of lowered and/or show trucks. What you have is definitely a deep drop bumper. Check out the FAQ article I attached on bumper types for you to check out. With that being said, you will need a hitch designed for trucks with deep drop bumpers like the...

  • Would the B and W Hitch part # BWHDRH25122 Fit Truck with 34 inch Wide Trailer Frame
  • 34 inch frame widths are pretty common cab and chassis trucks. The B and W Hitch part # BWHDRH25122 that you referenced is designed to fit cab and chassis trucks with a 34 inch width measured from outside to outside on trailer frames. If you measured your truck frame and it measures 34 inches from outside to outside the mounting brackets of the part # BWHDRH25122 would be positioned correctly. You most likely would need to drill holes in the frame to get the hitch to bolt up.

  • Hitch that Fits 1977 Ford F-250 with Narrower Frame
  • Sounds like you have a cab and chassis model Ford F-250 which has frame dimensions of 34 inches measured from outside to outside which we have hitches for like the Curt # C14082 but there is drilling required to install this hitch as well as any other hitch that would fit your truck.
