Hey Charles, due to the age of your truck I wasn't able to pull up an online version of the owners manual to see what it recommends for flat towing. Do you still have your manual? You can look under the towing section for the recreational section and there will be whether or not it can be flat towed listed there. Otherwise a Ford dealer would know. We have a base plate kit that does fit your truck with the Roadmaster # 414-1 though so I am pretty confident it will work.

Hey Charles, were you able to find out from your manual or the Ford dealer if your F-150 can be flat towed? Knowing what you learned could really help others with older trucks looking to do the same.
