At some point, Frankentruck apparently had an old trailer hitch that was welded in and then torched off later. Additionally, the truck was rear ended which bent the frame a little bit. All it took was a pipe wrench and a hammer to bend the frame back enough to useable shape
Also spent some more time getting friendly with my Harbor Freight grinder to get rid of what was left from the old hitch. Taking the bumper off made all of that easier.
I finished up the install today and got the bumper back on. The truck already has trailer wiring and a trailer brake controller, so now that I've got a good hitch, I'm ready to tow some stuff

Funny story:
I left my 9/16 and 5/8 socket sitting on the wiper arm when I was working on the truck yesterday. I then forgot to grab them before I drove up to a local body shop to ask what I should do about the frame. When I pulled into the shop's driveway, my 9/16 fell off the truck. Didn't realize it was missing until today, so I drove back there and found it half way squished into the gravel. Both sockets are safe and sound in the garage tonight
