Ive been absent awhile, work has kept me busy.
So heres where i am so far, an rv friend said yes, the rear brackets are welded on the inside of the frame. I bought a used 15k reese hitch with rails, brackes and all mounting hardware.
I cut the bed liner where the frame rails go then lined up the holes and everything matched.
I installed the rails and temporarily tightened everything up. The only bolts that didnt fit were the three rear bolts on the rear rail. The holes were drilled into the bed crossmember. So i now need to use a hole cutter to drill big holes for spacers the drill the bolt size hole thru the crossmember then tighten to torque specs.
Once i get that done this week, im going to go thru the hitch and lube everything up. It looks like its in pretty good shape, anything i should look for?
