Gooseneck Hitch for 1996 Chevrolet C3500 Flatbed Dually
Updated 09/02/2025 | Published 08/01/2025
Question:
Hi, Im looking for a gooseneck hitch to fit my 1996 Chevy C3500 Dually flatbed. The frame is 34 inches wide at the rear differential and I would like the ball to be below the floor or flush with the bed. What products would fit my truck?

Hi Ray; with that flatbed there won't be a custom fit option for a gooseneck hitch. What you can use is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Trucks # BWGNRK1500. This will require welding and possibly some fabrication for installation. You can install it flush or recessed and the ball will store upside down in the hitch when not in use.
