  • How Wide is Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 41904 for a 1982 Ford F-350
  • I went out to the warehouse to measure Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 41904. From the center of one mounting hole to the center of the one on the opposite side is 35 inches. This means that it will fit the pickup models that have the 37-1/4 inch wide frame but not cab and chassis models with the narrow 34 inch frame.

  • Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate Installation Weight Capacity
  • Curt says the Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500 can be installed to the frame rails with a minimum of six 1/2 inch Grade 5 mounting bolts, but that would not allow the plate to meet the 30,000 lbs. GTW rating. They have not tested the plate by itself so it is not rated for a certain capacity. The strength of the gooseneck plate comes from the mounting crossbars and the frame itself, so the capacity would vary greatly depending on your installation. The product can most likely pull a light...

  • How to Measure for Trailer Hitch Clearance on a 1963 Ford F-100 With a Rear Barden Bumper
  • When mounted, the top of the receiver of the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch, # 41001, will sit 5-1/2 inches below the frame rail. So you can simply measure 5-1/2 inches from the bottom of your frame rail to see if the receiver will clear your Barden Bumper. If you do not have enough clearance for the # 41001 hitch, then you may want to take a look at the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41504. The receiver of this hitch will sit 7-7/16 inches below the bottom of your frame rail and is...

  • How Much Tire Clearance is Needed for Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TUR350 requires a minimum 5" space between where you mount the 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" bracket to your frame and axle pad. This allows the springs to have a 1" gap. The spring itself is 4" wide and the bracket is 4 1/2" wide and you will need a 1" gap to have clearance between your tires and frame. Depending on how low your frame is you will either need 5" or 5 1/2" of space.

  • Weight Capacity of Redline HP344G Greasable Hinges
  • According to Redline, the # HP344G hinges don't carry a weight rating, but if Installed correctly, I can't see the hinges being the weak link. The strength of your ramp will be contingent on how it's constructed and the quality of the welds fastening the hinges to the trailer and tailgate.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 1977 Ford F-250 Work with 38 Gallon Tank
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C15300 which is a fit for a 1977 Ford F-250 is designed for the factory gas tank. If you have an aftermarket gas tank then we would not be able to confirm fit but what I could do is provide you with the inner width of the hitch so you can measure to check compatibility. I have attached a photo below with the inner width which is listed at 33.312".

  • Where to Measure Vehicle Frame for Picking Out Trailer Hitch
  • When measuring the frame width on a vehicle, you will need to measure from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other frame rail. If you have the larger frame width of 37-1/4 inches you would want the Curt Hitch part # C15300, or if you have the 34 inch frame width (most likely cab and chassis model) you would want the part # 13028.

  • Diameter and Thread Pitch of Wheel Stud on AxleTek AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K Trailer Idler Hub
  • The AxleTek # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K hub you'd looked at uses 1/2 inch-20 wheel studs. 1/2 inch diameter, 20 threads per inch. The lug nuts are included with the hub, as are the bearings, races, grease seal and the EZ Lube grease cap. We don't carry TDE parts, but from my research, I've found that the # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K is a direct replacement for their 46210 hub. If you click the provided links, you can see an install and a product description video.

  • Side to Side Measurements for B&W Class V Trailer Hitch # BWHDRH25122
  • B&W hitch # BWHDRH25122 is designed to fit many trucks including the 1967 Ford F-350 as long as it has (or had) a stock factory bumper. Most of the trucks of that era had a 34 inch frame width which this hitch will fit. But to answer your question the distance between the side plates is 33-3/8 inches and the hole center to hole center distance is 36 inches. I measured them myself. If your frame width is the more uncommon 37-1/2 inch width then I recommend Curt hitch # C15511 which is...
