I can confirm that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13352 will fit on your 2005 Ford F-150 with the short bed and Flare-sides. I've added a photo that we have on the product page of this hitch installed on the same truck for you to check out.
If you also need a wiring harness for this truck, I recommend using the Hopkins Plug-N-Tow # 40185, which will plug into the US Car Connector port under the vehicle on the driver's side and allow you to have a 4 way trailer wiring harness for trailer lights.
I've linked some installation videos of these parts for you to check out, as well as our entire selection of ball mount kits in case you also need a ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip to complete your towing setup.
