Frame rails on a M915a1

[Bighurt]

Anybody know the spread on a M915's frame rails. I'm trying to see if a used B&W turn-over ball will drop in between the frame rails with some custom mounts.

I can't measure mine at the moment, I'm away from the truck.

Thanks

Should have thought to review the -20 before posting.

Found my answer 34", SAE for US trucks.

99% of all trucks on the road are 34". Everything from 1 ton up to class 8 trucks. You'll run across a oddball from time to time but 34" is the norm.

There are some thick triangular gussets running from the side rails to the rear rail over the pintle that may be in the way. I'm looking at putting a flip goose neck ball on my M915A1 and will likely have to weld a plate between the gussets of be prepared for some fabricating.

Or you could get one of these.

I want to use the B&W turn over ball like I have on the Ford. Then i can use any of the assecories I already have.

After I add a reciever hitch to the rear similar to that posted earlier this week (civi hitch on a M915).

I'll be able to haul any one of my 6 current trailers with the M915a1.

I'm all about versitility while still maintain practicality.
