Hi Mark, it looks like you picked up the Curt hitch that fits the cab and chassis models of the 1977 Ford trucks. Do you know if your truck was originally built as a cab and chassis model which means it came with a slightly wider frame and was made to have a box bed, flat bed or service bed added on after it came off the line.
If it wasn't a cab and chassis model, then it was likely just the standard pick-up with a standard bumper, then I'd recommend the B&W Class 5 Hitch, # BWHDRH25122. If it came with a deep drop bumper, then I'd suggest # BWHDRH25198.
