Turnover Ball Hitch For Pickups
"We think it's the best gooseneck hitch ever developed for pickups," says Joe Works of B&W Custom Truck Beds, Inc., Humboldt, Kan. Works and his partner Roger Baker came up with the "Turnover Ball" hitch to eliminate the inconvenience and hazard of having a ball protruding up into the pickup bed when not in use.
"It's easy for anyone to install. To store the ball, you just pull a spring-loaded latch pin located in the rear wheel well of the truck, lift the ball out of its socket, drop it back into the socket upside down, and then return the latch pin to the engaged position," explains Works.
The "Turnover Ball" mounts in a frame assembly that simply bolts between the pickup frame underneath the pickup bed. A 3-in. sq. hole cut in the floor is the only modification to pickup. The hitch is de-signed to bolt into place without removing or loosening the truck bed or any other truck component and it uses bolt holes already in the frame members so there's no cutting or welding.
Sells for $219.
