I went with a piece of 2x6x1/4wall tubing notched inbetween the front frame rails backen by 2 1/2 thick plates welded to that and the frame and 2 pieces of 3/8 angle welded on the front and to the bumper as well as the frame. Wrap a strap around it and pull to your hearts content or till you rip the hook point off the other truck.
