Hi Do you have a adjustable pintle hitch plate with D rings for a 1997 Ford dump truck, single axle... 1997 Ford L8000 dump truck

The only option we have for a pintle hook plate that has D-rings attached for the 1997 Ford L8000 Dump truck is the fabrication plates like part # 3371809042 part # 3371809043 and part # 3371809040. These plates come with the D-rings to be welded on with additional gussets for strength. Then you would use Buyers Pintle Hook with Mounting Kit - Bolt On part # 33710042.

We do not currently carry anything that is truly adjustable for the dump truck unless you have a 2" hitch. Then you could use Gen-Y Torsion Pintle Hook Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches - 14 Hole - 16,000 lbs part # 325-GH-1201 with Curt Pintle Hook part # C48210 which fits lunette ring couplers with a diameter of 2-1/2", or 3" but the weight capacity of that set up would be low compared to the fabrication plate.

What about a bolt on 2 1/2 receiver for a 1993 l8000 chassis? Thanks

@Rob We do not have a bolt on option available for the 1995 L8000 chassis. You can use a weld on option with part # 3371801052. This will probably take some work to get it to work though.
