Figure I'd post mine

Custom designed a hitch for my 5500 when it rolled in. I knew what I wanted, but didn't really want to buy something off the shelf since each one has things I didn't like. Next hitch will have a bigger wheel, but this one seems fine for now.

Excuse the dirt, it had been snowing previously and was too cold to wash it off without covering in ice. The pics are from last year when I built it.

That's nice, I'll take 2. One for a Dodge 3500 and one for a Chevy 3500... I have the hitch heads, but NO SKILLS!

Send the heads out and I'll fab them up. You will need to drill a few holes in the frame rails, only sides. Top holes ain't cool
Both will include backing plates for the inside of the frames.

Let me know if you are serious. I still have plenty of materials to make a few more, I just didn't want to buy more heads.
