Found something in my bed ?!?!
Ok so the other day i took out my plastic bed liner and found a strange looking
circle in my bed....upon more investigation i find out its some kind of hitch a buddy called it a hide-a-hitch....i'm guessing its for some kind of goose neck trailer....i looked under the truck and saw what appears to be an upside down trailer ball a rather large one to be exact i noticed a pin with a spring going threw it ...so im guessing that you have to pull the pin till the ball comes out and turn it over and reinstall so you have a gooseneck trailer ball......i really have no idea the difference between a (fifth wheel and a gooseneck) and i have no idea how to pull the pin out ( i think its rusted in place ) so i guess what im asking is this what is it and how do you suggest i remove the pin thats holding the ball in place. Thanks for the help...... if i need to i will try and get a picture of it |
is there a brand or anything on the hitch? pictures would help out a lot
|
mine has a lever in the driver side fender well that you pull and push forward, pull ball out and flip over. then slide lever back

inner fender skirt to see it.......the only thing i have really done to it is pull on it it doesn't look like i can twist it or anything so i just pulled on it the first picture is an in the bed pic and the other is from over my rear passenger tire if need be i can take one from under the truck tomorrow after work thanks for the input guys.........and yes i have PB blasted it to see if i could break it loose !!! |
you should be able to pull that handle out and there will be a notch or something that will hold it while you pull the ball up and flip it over then you just release the handle from its catch.
|
I dont know if it is , but it looks like the B&W turnover GN hitch....
It might not be the B&W but look at them and you will see more about how to use and operate the hitch better,,, On another note, how long have you had the truck ? It must be a newer truck to you since you never noticed it before ? |

Ok after look at the ball I'm pretty sure it a b&w but somebody messed up cause everyone I have seen the handle is on the drivers side

I believe this came stock on the 01's my buddy's has had his ever since he bought the truck brand new, and judging by the pics, that looks exactly like his.

I called and asked my buddy and he said it was an option on the truck when he bought it, so yea they did come with them but yes i do agree with you he did try to modify it, Dunno why, maybe he was just retarded. And my friends lever comes out the drivers side and there is a hole in the wheel well that is just for the lever, and his doesn't stick out, you have to reach in the hole to pop it out. So hey, take it to a Dealer, since it was an option they should be able to sort it out and figure out what he :edit: up.
