The difference is that Curt trailer hitch # C15845 is designed to fit cab and chassis style trucks and # C15810 is designed to fit regular pickup truck models.

Cab and chassis trucks are the ones you might see on a lot that do not have a bed on them. They turn those into service trucks, utility trucks, and emergency vehicles. The frame rails are closer together on cab and chassis trucks than on regular pickup models.

The frame width on a cab and chassis model 2001 Ford F-350 will be 34 inches measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other frame rail. Measuring is the easiest way to determine cab and chassis or regular pickup if you are not sure.

I have linked instructions for both hitches and a video showing installation of hitch # C15810.
