Expert Reply:
Our contact at Curt Manufacturing said that it sounds like you have a blocker beam on your 99 F350 Super Duty 4x4. A blocker beam is a 3 inch by 1 inch steel bar that mounts underneath the frame on the front of the vehicle and could be the reason your hitch will not mount correctly.
In that case you would need a Curt Front Hitch for the 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty part # C31014. However, if your truck is a cab and chassis model this hitch will not work either.
