Gooseneck Ball and Mounting Plate Question

Gooseneck Ball and Mounting Plate Question
Hey everyone! Every since I purchased my truck, I've wondered why someone removed the gooseneck mounting plate from the frame of the truck. My bed has the hole for the ball to go through but there's nothing there, I can see straight down to the rear differential when looking at it. I see where the bolts/studs protrude on each side of the frame but that's the only evidence I have to prove that my truck once previously had a gooseneck plate attached to the frame.
My main question is where can I even find plate for this truck? I've been to places like Thoroughbred Diesel's website and can only find plates and mounting assemblies for the '94+ trucks. I've been wanting to reinstall the plate so I have the ability to use a gooseneck. I can provide pictures as needed. Anyone's help on this subject matter is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I've got the b&w turnover in mine, easy install and nice and clean when it's upside down. I've got a mumby convert or for my 5th wheel trailer so I can pull it with the crew cab or 1st gen

That's right, it was a premature picture

I made my own plate. I use 2 pieces of channel 1 inside the other.
Day after I finished the install we loaded it heavy for a 1400 mile round trip out to Colorado and back

I did mine the same as Pulltilbroke except I used a solid slab of steel about 1" thick. Has to rais the bed a little but that actually helped line up the body better.
Now I just need to add the safety loops, can't wait to drill 4 holes through that...
