Hey David, thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the Buyers Products 2" Platform Body Hitch Receiver # 3371801051L which is a customizable weld-on installation. There aren't any custom-fit hitches for semi trucks to something like this is what you'll need to go with.
Then for wiring and a brake controller I recommend the Universal Wiring Harness w/ ModuLite and Brake Controller Harness # 22551 which installs to each light function, mounts to the hitch with the Mounting Bracket # 18138, and then pairs perfectly with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller for Tekonsha Harness # RED63RR so you can install the brake controller virtually anywhere in your truck cab.
