CB would you mind showing a little more details to your mod? I have a capture plate that I have been wanting to remove easily. Right now I have two pieces of angle iron welded to the sides, basically wedging the capture plate to the pin box.
These are the only pics I have. As shown in first pic the center tube is weldedto the pin box. the outer two are welded to the capture plate.

Once you get that done, pin the capture plate on the pin box, vise grip the back of the capture plate to the pin box.
Now drill 3/8" holes inside of wedge thru capture plate and pin box.

Remove capture plate. Put two 3/8" bolts in pin box with nuts on the top side. Weld the nuts in place.
Reinstall and go camping.:B
