- How to Measure for Trailer Hitch Clearance on a 1963 Ford F-100 With a Rear Barden Bumper
- When mounted, the top of the receiver of the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch, # 41001, will sit 5-1/2 inches below the frame rail. So you can simply measure 5-1/2 inches from the bottom of your frame rail to see if the receiver will clear your Barden Bumper.
If you do not have enough clearance for the # 41001 hitch, then you may want to take a look at the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41504. The receiver of this hitch will sit 7-7/16 inches below the bottom of your frame rail and is design

- Hitch Recommendation for a 1976 Ford F150 with a Deep Drop Bumper
- A roll pan bumper is a bumper that basically makes the rear bumper look as if it does not stick out further than the rest of the truck and that is molded into the rear of the truck. Its basically a cosmetic modification that you see on a lot of lowered and/or show trucks.
What you have is definitely a deep drop bumper. Check out the FAQ article I attached on bumper types for you to check out.
With that being said, you will need a hitch designed for trucks with deep drop bumpers like the Cu

- Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 1979 Ford F-350
- Since you already have some trailer wiring on the 1979 Ford F-350, all you will need is a brake controller and a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7 to add a 7-Way and wiring for the brake controller.
A lot of the wiring on your 6-pole can be reused. You will need to cut the 4-Way off of the ETBC7 and splice the wires from it to the wires going into the 6-pole by function. On the 4-Way, brown is running lights, yellow is left turn/brake lights, and green is right turn and brake lights.

- Will the Curt Class IV Hitch # 14001 fit on a 1978 Ford F-350 with a 34 Inch Wide Frame
- The Curt Class IV Receiver Hitch, # 14001 is designed to fit the wider framed 1978 Ford F-350 trucks, and will not fit on the 34 inch wide framed cab and chassis models.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1966 Ford F-100 With a Standard Bumper
- I have included a picture of what a deep drop bumper is going to look like for you. If your bumper looks more like the standard bumper, pictured in the FAQ I have linked for you, then you do not have the 10 inch bumper. You would then need a trailer hitch that is designed for the regular bumper, like # 41001. I have included a link to the installation details for both hitches.
I also recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, interchangeable ball set, hitch pin

- There are several trailer hitches that will fit a 1979 Ford F-250, but not # 45002. I have included a link to the hitches that will fit. There are no Class V hitches with 2-1/2 inch receivers that will fit the 1979 model. The nearest match is # 14001, a Class IV hitch. It will not fit Crew Cab models of the F-250. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1976 Ford F-Series Truck with 4 Wheel Drive
- A high boy is a generic term used to encompass all Ford F-250 4x4 trucks from the late 1960s to the late 1970s (circa 1967 to 1977 and a half). If your 1976 is an F-250 with 4 wheel drive, it falls under the high boy umbrella. F-100 and F-150 models are not considered high boys even though 4 wheel drive was an option for some.
The high boy trucks came with a different transfer case (what is called a divorced transfer case), the front cross member set up was different, and they sat higher than

- Installation of 4-Pole Wiring Harness on 1998 Ford F-150
- On the 1988 Ford F-150 the brake and turn signal lights are already converted, so a converter is not required. For your F-150 vehicle, instead of the Hopkins Vehicle Wiring Converter, part # HM48915 I would recommend the T-1 connector part # 118316.

- Brake Controller Light Flashes When I Turn on My Emergency Flashers on a 1991 Ford F-350
- This is a common problem on older vehicles. With the flashers on, the brake controller light will blink. If you have a trailer connected it will also pulse the trailer brakes, which you do not want to do.
If you will need to use your flashers while towing an electric brake equipped trailer, you will need a Pulse Preventer like part # 5501.
