- For a hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 41001.

- In order to use a weight distribution system you'll need to install a receiver hitch mounted directly to the frame of the vehicle. We don't offer any weight distribution systems that would allow you to utilize a bumper mounted trailer ball.
If your heavy duty bumper is a standard or a step bumper, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # 41947 which has a 1600 lb towing/16000 lb capacity if used with weight distribution. If you have a deep drop bumper, which is also called a cowboy bumper, use #...

- First I suggest you verify the towing capacity of your 1975 Ford F-350 dually flatbed since the weight of a 3-car hauler trailer plus 3 vehicles could be quite substantial. I was not able to confirm a tow rating for the truck with Ford but the owner's manual should give you some guidance. You could also check the VIN with a local dealership to confirm its capacity.

- 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.
