Equip your vehicle with this robust hitch to safely tow your gooseneck trailer. The removable ball can be stored upside down in the hitch when not in use, providing complete bed access. The square ball base is designed to stay put in the hitch.
The B&W Turnoverball under-bed gooseneck trailer hitch offers the best of both worlds. It provides a sturdy, reliable connection with your gooseneck trailer for towing, and when not in use, the ball can be stowed upside down in the hitch for full bed access and a clean look.
The durable steel hitch ball included with the Turnoverball system is secured in the hitch with a sturdy, 5/8" thick steel pin integrated into the end of the operating handle. To lock the ball in place, drop it into the hitch hole in your truck bed. Then rotate the handle in your driver's-side wheel well counterclockwise until the latch engages. When the latch is engaged, the spring-loaded pin on the end of the handle will be inserted all the way through the base of the hitch ball, forming a strong, solid connection for secure towing.
When you're done towing, remove the hitch ball by pulling the handle out as far as it will go and then rotating it clockwise until it unlatches. Flip the ball upside down and drop it back into the ball hole of the hitch. Then reengage the latch to secure the stowed ball in place.
The Turnoverball hitch ball is designed with a square base, unlike typical gooseneck balls with round bases. This design makes latching the ball in the hitch easier as the base won't rotate inside of the hitch, making pin alignment a breeze. The base of the ball also fits tightly within the ball hole during storage, preventing any dirt or grime buildup that could cause the ball to seize up in the hitch.
This hitch is custom designed for your vehicle. The included mounting brackets bolt to existing holes in your truck's frame. While some modification is required - you will need to cut a 4" diameter hole in your bed for the hitch ball and drill holes for the built-in safety chain loops - there is no need to weld onto or to drill into your frame.
Once you have the hitch brackets and body installed, set up the operating handle. This handle is designed to be accessed from the rear driver's-side wheel well. On the end of the handle is the heavy-duty steel pin that secures the hitch ball.
B&W makes it easy to tow just about anything. With the many adapters and accessories available, the Turnoverball can be made to work with almost any gooseneck trailer. Hitch balls are available that have a built-in rise, an offset, and even a different connection type. Add on the Companion fifth-wheel hitch - which attaches directly to the Turnoverball with no other parts required - and you can tow your fifth-wheel trailer.
B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for durable, innovative towing products, including gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, and ball mounts. Built in Kansas by employee-owners, B&W products are engineered for dependable performance, easy installation, and long-lasting quality.
B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for building innovative, dependable towing products designed to make hitching easier and towing more comfortable. The company began in 1987 in Humboldt, Kansas, when founders Roger Baker and Joe Works combined their fabrication experience to build custom truck beds and solve common problems faced by truck owners.
B&W changed the gooseneck hitch industry with the introduction of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Its under-bed mounting system and reversible hitch ball allowed truck owners to quickly store the ball beneath the bed, leaving a clean and unobstructed surface when the hitch was not in use. B&W later applied the same practical approach to the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, creating a removable fifth-wheel hitch engineered for a quiet, smooth, and secure towing experience.
Today, B&W manufactures gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, ball mounts, and towing accessories at its nearly 600,000-square-foot facility. The company is owned by approximately 500 employee-owners who remain committed to American manufacturing, trusted materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-lasting product quality.
Whether you are towing a work trailer, livestock trailer, camper, or fifth wheel, B&W Trailer Hitches offers thoughtfully engineered towing equipment built to perform mile after mile.

The 1973-1987 Chevrolet & GMC 1500, 2500, & 3500 (Requires Drilling into Frame) B&W Turnoverball One-Piece Kit GNRK1400 (Part #BQVLGNRK1400) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The 1400R is designed for Chevrolet and GMC 1/2–3/4–1 ton trucks manufactured between 1973 and 1987 in original, unmodified condition. The product was designed to fit vehicles as manufactured. If your truck has replacement parts or other modifications, compatibility is not guaranteed. Inspect your vehicle for modifications before installation.
The 1400R can be installed on short-bed trucks, but before installing, you must check for adequate turning clearance between the front of all your trailers and the truck cab. Insufficient clearance may prevent safe operation.
Yes, the 1400R can be used on 2-wheel-drive trucks, but there is an important restriction: do not invert the ball in the socket when carrying heavy loads. The ball may hit the top of the differential. Remove the ball from the socket before loading. A plug for the socket is available from B&W.
The mounting kit includes: one center assembly, one 2-5/16" ball, four 1/2" × 1-1/2" carriage bolts, four 1/2" finish nuts, four 1/2" lock washers, four 1/2" flat washers, two 1/2" U-bolts, four conical springs, four 1/2" lock nuts, one 5/16" × 3/4" carriage bolt, one 5/16" × 3/4" cap screw, and one 5/16" flange nut.
The manual recommends using an overhead lifting device (such as chain falls, an engine hoist, or a cable come-a-long) to lift the center section of the hitch into place. This suggests that professional assistance or equipment is strongly recommended. The truck bed must also be lifted and lowered during installation, which typically requires at least two people and proper jacking equipment.
Required tools include: a jack (to lift the truck bed), a saber saw with metal cutting blade or a 4" hole saw (to cut the bed floor hole), a drill with bits for 1/4", 9/16", and 1/2" holes, a center punch, a hammer, a wrench or socket set (to tighten fasteners), and a torque wrench (to torque fasteners to 90 ft-lbs). An overhead lifting device such as chain falls or an engine hoist is recommended to lift the hitch center section.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill one 4" round hole in the truck bed floor (using a saber saw with metal cutting blade or a 4" hole saw), four 9/16" holes through the bed floor and frame rails to mount the hitch receiver assembly, and four 1/2" holes through the bed floor and hitch receiver assembly for the safety chain brackets. All drilling locations must be carefully marked and center-punched before drilling.
The 4" round hole should be centered between the wheel wells and positioned 49½" from the back edge of the truck bed to the center of the hole. Drill a small pilot hole inside the marked area, then cut out the circle using a saber saw with a metal cutting blade or a 4" hole saw.
Mark a line squared across the truck bed floor through the center of the round hitch receiver tube. Mark locations on this line 15¾" from the center of the tube on each side. Then mark hole locations 3" above and 3" below this line at each of these two points, creating four hole locations total. Verify these locations are near the center of the frame rails and check for fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wiring before drilling. Use a ¼" pilot hole first, then drill the 9/16" hole.
Mark a line squared across the truck bed floor through the center of the round hitch receiver tube. Mark locations on this line 6¼" from the center of the tube on each side. Then mark hole locations 1" above and 1" below this line at each of these two points, creating four hole locations total. These locations should be in a low section of the corrugated bed floor. Drill ¼" pilot holes first, then complete with ½" holes.
If the hole locations are in a raised corrugation, insert a metal shim of the correct thickness between the hitch receiver assembly and the truck bed floor in the raised corrugation. This ensures proper seating and alignment of the hitch assembly.
1. Mark and drill the 4" hole in the truck bed floor. 2. Loosen passenger-side bed bolts; remove all other bed bolts. 3. Raise the driver's side of the truck bed approximately 4" using a jack. 4. Position the hitch receiver assembly across the frame rails with the latch pin on the driver's side, and lower the truck bed to align the receiver tube through the 4" hole. 5. Replace and tighten bed bolts. 6. Drill four 9/16" mounting holes and install fasteners with 90 ft-lbs torque. 7. Drill four 1/2" safety chain bracket holes and install U-bolts. 8. Install and test the 2-5/16" ball.
Lower a loop of rope or chain through the 4" hole in the truck bed floor and attach it to the latch pin in the round hitch receiver tube in the center section. Use the lifting device to raise the center section until the round hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the center section fits in the 4" hole in the truck bed floor. Maintain upward pressure to facilitate fastening the crossmember to the center section. Disconnect the lifting device before squaring the center section across the frame, installing the sideplates, and torquing fasteners.
Position the hitch receiver assembly across the top of the frame rails with the latch pin mechanism on the driver's side. Slowly lower the truck bed, aligning the hitch receiver tube that protrudes from the assembly to fit through the 4" hole in the truck bed floor. Square the hitch receiver assembly across the frame, check truck bed alignment with the cab, and tighten the bed bolts.
Raise the driver's side of the truck bed approximately 4" by jacking against the truck bed floor in front of the wheel well. Be cautious of fuel filler hoses and electrical wiring. Before drilling the mounting holes, carefully examine the location of fuel lines, brake lines, and electrical wires to assure adequate clearance. The fuel tank vent, located on top of the gas tank, can be easily damaged during installation—care must be taken when positioning hitch components.
The four 9/16" mounting bolts that fasten the hitch receiver assembly to the truck frame rails must be torqued to 90 ft-lbs. Before final torquing, seat the square bolt shank of the bolts with several sharp hammer blows to the bolt heads.
The main mounting bolts are 1/2" × 1-1/2" carriage bolts. Each bolt is installed with a flat washer, lock washer, and finish nut. The square bolt shank must be seated with several sharp hammer blows to the bolt heads before final torquing to 90 ft-lbs.
Drop each safety chain bracket (U-bolt) through a pair of 1/2" holes from the topside of the truck bed floor. Place a conical spring and lock nut on each of the four legs of the U-bolt. Tighten the lock nuts until 1/4" of threads extends through the lock nut.
Retract the latch pin by pulling the handle all the way out and sliding it to the left. Place the 2-5/16" ball in the hitch receiver. Engage the latch pin by moving the handle to the right and in. Be certain the latch pin passes through the hole and the 2-5/16" ball and fully engages through the hitch receiver. Repeat this process with the 2-5/16" ball in all eight positions to verify proper operation. After testing, grease the square base of the 2-5/16" ball.
Grease the square base of the 2-5/16" ball after installation and testing. The manual does not specify additional maintenance intervals or procedures beyond this initial greasing.
Do not invert the ball in the socket when carrying heavy loads on 2-wheel-drive trucks. The ball may hit the top of the differential. Remove the ball from the socket before loading. A plug for the socket is available from B&W.
The 1400R fits Chevrolet and GMC 1/2–3/4–1 ton trucks from 1973–1987 in original, unmodified condition. Check for modifications before purchase, and verify turning clearance on short-bed trucks.
Yes. You must drill one 4" hole in the truck bed floor, four 9/16" holes through the bed floor and frame rails, and four 1/2" holes for safety chain brackets.
You need a jack, a saber saw with metal cutting blade or 4" hole saw, a drill with 1/4", 9/16", and 1/2" bits, a center punch, a hammer, wrenches, and a torque wrench. An overhead lifting device is recommended.
Torque the four 9/16" mounting bolts to 90 ft-lbs after seating the square bolt shank with hammer blows.
The manual recommends an overhead lifting device and requires lifting the truck bed, which typically requires professional equipment and assistance. Consult a qualified installer for your specific situation.
Yes, but do not invert the ball in the socket under load—the ball may hit the differential. Remove the ball before loading.
The kit includes a center assembly, 2-5/16" ball, carriage bolts, nuts, washers, U-bolts, springs, and fasteners for mounting and safety chain brackets.
A downward-distorted bed floor can make it difficult to fasten the crossmember to the center section. Using an overhead lifting device to maintain upward pressure on the center section facilitates fastening. If corrugations in the bed floor cause mounting hole locations to be raised, insert a metal shim of the correct thickness between the hitch receiver assembly and the truck bed floor to ensure proper seating and alignment.
Verify that the latch pin passes completely through the hole in the hitch receiver and the 2-5/16" ball. The manual states: 'Be certain the latch pin passes through the hole and the 2-5/16" ball and fully engages through the hitch receiver.' If the pin does not fully engage, check that the ball is properly seated in the receiver and that the latch pin handle is moved fully to the right and in. Repeat the engagement process to ensure proper operation.
