Want to remove a hitch from my wrecked 96. f-150 to sell or install on my new 96 f-150 Is it somthing a DIY'er can do?

appreciate any all replies

 

Yea, it unbolts right off. You might have to drill the frame to install it on the new truck though.

 

x2 i have seen some knuckle heads weld their hitch on though..

but yes, a DIY'er can do it. i believe it's 4 bolts and it's off. but i think the bolt holes are pre-drilled because i believe a hitch was a factory option, so the holes should be already drilled if i'm not mistaken.

 

I had to drill my frame, but mine's an '87.

 

Looked at it this morning, looks pretty simple 4 bolts. But will i be able to get the brake control stuff thats wired up, or is it just wired to that connector for lights etc? Will be doing that when I have time before its scrapped. still have doors, engine w 31,000 miles, transmission has 60,000 .

 

your new truck should be pre-wired for a brake control connector. but you could just trace the wires from the connecter to wherever they begin and install it on your truck if it's not already there.

olso, trailer brakes is a nice add-on too if you ever haul anything big. pretty easy to install too. have them on my truck and it's awesome for the track days!

 

How much would you b able to sell a hitch for I have one I would like to get rid o when I Put on my roll pan I had to take it of and get a new different style

 

you wont get much for it, the salvage yards around here sell them for 50 bucks for fullsize and 40 for smaller trucks,

you can get them new for 100-200 bucks depending on the brand

i looked up your drawtite and it is 137 brandnew.

 

Ok well maybe one day I could trade with some one or sell it for Cheep here to some one one the forum

 

I recently bought one that came from a 96 and installed on my 91. $50 with the bolts, nuts, and washers Six bolts - had to drill the holes. Easy to remove. Not too hard to install if you have a good drill and 1/2 inch drill bit.
