Default Receiver hitch bolt pattern

I've looked everywhere for the schematics on a receiver hitch bolt pattern for a 1995 f150 but couldn't find anything anywhere. The PO had a hitch on but torched the bolts off since they were rusted in. I want to order a new one to put on but want to make sure the holes they drilled will match the holes of a new hitch so they're not off 1/4 inch and then i would have to hollow them out to weaken the area...

not worried about the width from frame to frame, that I can measure, i'm concerned about the spacing from hole to hole. The far rear 2 holes are closer and then the one more front is farther apart.

Please and Thank You for the help!

I usually buy one that says "fits '80-'96 F150". Doesn't get any simpler than that.

Actualy they all pretty much have different patters. The one on my 87 was rotted and i got 1 off a 88 91 and 95 and the bolt pattern on all of them are different. Im gonna drill holes in the frame and use the 88 1 cause it was the closest match.

You will have to drill for most hitches. Some trucks don't even have holes, like mine. Four more holes isn't going to hurt anything.

if whatever hitch you get doesnt line up, and you are that worried about it, have someone weld up the old holes.
