Side to Side Measurements for B&W Class V Trailer Hitch # BWHDRH25122

Question:

Hello, What is the width including mounting tabs and what is the distance between the bolts, center to center, frame rail to frame rail? I need a class 5 hitch for a 1967 F350 dump truck. If the width on this doesnt work, do you have a recommendation? Thanks!

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 designed to fit frame widths of 34 inches or 37-1/2 inches on models with a deep drop bumper. It would fit models with a regular bumper but it would hang lower than a hitch that fits without the deep drop bumper.
