Question:
I asked this before and got a response from Jason S., but I need more clarification so I attached a picture of my son with truck. You can see it is a straight bumper for a step-side P/U. Will your recommended hitch Item # 41001 still work?

For your 1965 Ford F100, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41001. This hitch receiver is a 2 inch Class III rated for 600 lbs tongue weight and 6,000 lbs towing but 1,000 lbs tongue and 10,000 lbs towing when using a weight distribution system.
If you don't already have a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252. This includes quick splice connectors to make installation easy. You may also want the bracket # 18144.
For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900. I've attached a video of how this works.
Let me know if you have further questions.
