Found something in my bed ?!?!
Most dealers won't mess with hitches. I would just soak it with penetrating oil and work it till it frees up but it did a little more looking today and b&w is the only company I have found that makes a turnover hitch with that specific ball style
looking at you pictures closer it looks kinda like someone flipped the whole set up around. is the ball over the axle or slightly behind the axle? |
My dad's B&W was siezed like that when he bought his dodge. We had to hook the overhead hoist to the ball,then get a long punch and a BIGF'NHAMMER:dang::argh:

Have you got the handle to move yet?
|
the pin should go all the way through.. and get some blaster or whatever on it and take a big punch and BFH to knock the pin back through.. once thats out use the BFH to unstick the ball..
same thing was on my 93 same condition but it sounds like yours is backwards, the ball should be slightly forward of the axle :pca1: |

well lucky for me the ball is pointed down so i cant get ahold of it :dang: but i keep on spraying it with PB Blast and here in a bout a week im going to do the punch an BFH prosses:hammer: ....and i guees if that dont work i could try and heat it up with the torch....but it sure is awfull close to the tank |

You can run a 3/16" chain thru the little rod you put ur finger thru to pull it out,then hook it to a hoist or come a-long overhead. Don't try to lift the truck just put a good amount of tension on it. Then hit the ball from under the truck. :tu: P.S. You can use the "hot wrench" a.k.a. the torch just be cautious.:w2:
I really do thank you all for all the help on this little matter |
It's purpose is for pulling the ball out to flip it. That is a B&W for sure.

So can anybody tell me why the PO would have moved the hitch back behind the axle ? ? what could possibly be the benifit or reason of doing this |
Is it a shortbed? If it is then possibly clearance. But if I were to guess the PO is just a dumbass cause B&W engineers it's product a certain way and that's the way it should be installed.
