Installing a Draw Tite Hitch on an m1008.

I know on our fire company's M1028 the only thing that was lost off of the tow hooks was one of the mounting holes on each one. A quick cut with a 3 inch cut off wheel and they still had the two main support bolts Which are fairly heavy duty. Grade 8 if I remember right and a good size. It was a snug fit for the hitch and to get it to slide into place we used a jack to push the hitch up, and some weight on the tail gate. Then it popped right in.
