Fits 1997 Ford F250, HD, 4x4, 7.3 Diesel perfectly. No drilling. Tip of receiver extends to approximately flush with bumper. Shipping is poor; no shipping box; shipping stickers are now permanently affixed to receiver (bummer); some paint damage due to shipping (double bummer); it is good thing receiver is mostly hidden under front bumper. I would give 5 stars if Amazon had properly prepared product for shipping.
