I am not overly familiar with them.
I bought a 1992 F250 with a gooseneck hitch in the bed. The frame appeared professionally built and had 4 bolts holding it down. After owning it a while I found the the frame was only bolted to the cross members on the factory bed, it was not bolted directly to the frame of the truck. I thought it was joke to try to do that and never used it.

My plan is to drill 4 bolt holes through the frame of the gooseneck hitch and bolt it directly to the truck frame and leave it welded to the factory bed - most likely 1/2 inch bolts.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
