WTB gooseneck hitch B&W or equal

[alienturtle]

Looking to buy a B&W gooseneck hitch for my 89 F250. The website shows 1980-1998 being the same. Let me know if anyone has one for cheaper than new. Im located in the CA area. Thanks

I believe my brother has one, ill have to check on the brand though, it has two rails for sure and then you can either mount the gooseneck or a fifth wheel, all he has is the gooseneck attachment. If this sounds like what your looking for I will try to get some pictures. The guy who had the truck before him had it mounted with only 4 grade 8 bolts though so I would suggest getting four more. Also it the rails mount on top of the bed, but do not make it too inconvenient with the gooseneck removed.

I know of one for sale in Ft. Wayne Indiana. B&W brand from a 1994 F250. 2 hours from me but if someone is closer I could pass off the guys #. I think the CL ad is expired, but I got his number before then

Yeah im looking for one that goes under the bed. I have 5th wheel rails in it right now with a home made goose attachment.

Can u see if he still has his number. If I can get it cheap enough it might be worth shipping.

B&W makes a nice hide a ball goose neck hitch. I would not want to drill the holes in my frame for them but to each his own. When I installed my 5th wheel and then the B&W goose neck I welded the brackets on the frame for the 5th and made 2 plates 1/2 inch by 6 inch across the frames for the B&W. I was not able to source a hide a ball either so mine is a lay down ball.

According to the site the b w hitch does not require drilling. It uses existing holes. If you plan yo put thr helper bags over that it requires 2 holes to be drilled per side.
