    Reese hitch? Are you going to copy their hitch platform or what?
    Or are you wanting to build your own receiver hitch platform? Just because you can weld does not automatically make you qualified to engineer a hitch platform capable of safely hauling the intended load.

    Tableclock, if you want good correct information, you need to answer the questions our experts ask, so they know how to better help you. I have deleted your rude comment. If you want to be rude and complain, our experts could care less to help you.

    I would recommend giving them the extra info, so they can better direct your answer.

    So while you may think you asked a clear question, but no, it is not very clear exactly what you are wanting.

    It is highly unlikely that you will find any such drawings.
    You should be able to go under the vehicle and with a pencil,paper and a tape measure come up with a pretty good sketch.
    That is how I did it for my last two trailers that I installed a hitch platform onto.
