Re: 1957 Chevy 3100, meet 1994 Dodge Ram 1500
And here is that beast of a hitch plate. 3/8" steel should firm up the rear just a bit, lol.
I notched it to fit around the top of the gas tank. My saw guide walked a bit and I missed the corner holes that I drilled, so in the end, I welded in some 45* corners to help prevent stress cracking. In the long run, there will be a full-steel 3/16" bed floor over top of the hitch plate, with the highest part of the plate, (not counting the ball), being recessed 1/2" below the bed floor.
