I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like your Fedex step van are multi-fit RV hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.

@ShawnP You'd need to measure how far down your service body hangs relative to your vehicle frame to determine which size would fit best.

@ShawnP Nothing custom fit. Only universal wiring harnesses like the part # 119190KIT.
