1. Picture a flat plate sitting in the center of the truck bed with a gooseneck ball.
2. 2-1/2" square heavy wall tube running straight back to rear of truck, down, and into the truck's receiver. Bracing and gusseting as appropriate. This would take most of the forces from the trailer.
3. 1/4" grade 70 chains and binders to each of the four 1000lb-rated tiedown points in the corners of the box.
Think it would hold?
The point? To be able to move it from truck to truck for occasional towing of a gooseneck cattle trailer.
Before you rip on me too badly, it's just an IDEA.
By the time all is said and done I probably can put a manufactured hitch in one truck for less money and hassle.
