You will most likely need to use one of our heavy duty weld-on truck hitches such as # 41990-07 for the flat bed truck. I have included a link to the options for you. Welding should be performed by a qualified professional welder who can determine if the hitch can be built out further and maintain its capacity.
And if none of the weld-on hitches work then a hitch could be fabricated using some of our hitch fabrication parts, also linked.
