are you looking for the whole hitch or what? $350 is about the going rate for a B&W (delivered).

If you don't want a hitch there try this. I made up some sheet metal and had a friend with a wire welder plug the hole and grind/sand it smooth. I then took the truck back to my LineX man and he grindrd/sanded the edges and repainted it. You can't tell there was ever a hitch there.

Ill probably end up making a hitch out of some heavy 1/2" 4130. Ill just make the ball connection threaded and reinforced so I can remove the ball with a breaker bar.
