You can get what they call the "flatbed kit" (center section, ball, and lever) for around $150 - $200. Then if ya got access to some metal and a welder you can make the mount yourself to save a few bucks.

I have access to all the steel I want but by the time I spend the time I might as well have the nice B&W.

I've had two kinds of customers, those that bought B&W hitches and those that come back later and say they wish they had bought a B&W hitch. It's just a fact that these things are so well built and well designed that they take all the hassle out of having a goosneck in your truck. They mount in about 2 hours of easy work. They last forever, They are stronger then any other I have found out there, to nclude these home made hitches and most important they bolt right into existing holes so they do no damage at all to your truck other then cutting the hole in your bed. No welding, no drilling, no tapping, just put it up there and bolt it in.

Forgot the most important thing. If your ever involved in an accident no way the investigation can consider you negligent for an un approved hitch. B&W has been tried and tested so you are also getting thier reputation.

yeah I have been looking at a bunch of hitches and these are the best looking and functional.
They also offer an adapter to put on a 5th wheel.

They also make a great anchor point for pulling other stuff to. I made a hitch to go in mine that has the tow hook on it. I pull the ball and slide this in. It works great cause it pulls the truck down and put's weight to the tires. I used to pull from the bumper hitch and it pulls the truck up off the tires in most cases.
