I understand your problem. Your new truck has a new Reese hitch. So you need to replace your pinbox, so you can use the Reese hitch.
I would agree with the CW guys. Replace the pinbox with a new one. Removing a continuos welded capture plate will really screw up your pinbox. Grinding it off or torching it off. The old pinbox is not anything that I would want to use.

Then you can use the capture plate, and will have a good automatic sliding hitch in your new truck. Sell the Reese. Or see if the dealer will allow you to return it for a refund.
