Setting up my GMC for towing

Earlier this year my girlfriend bought a 26ft Airstream and I really want to use my 1960 GMC to tow it. The problem is, it doesn't have a hitch. My 63 chevy truck has a nice step bumper with a hitch on it. I figured I would swap out the bumper and I would be good to go. I got the bumpers off the trucks and was getting ready to put the bumper from the 63 on and found out it wasn't going to be as easy as I thought....the frame on my 60 is wider...should've known they would be different.

Anyways, what are my options for putting a hitch on my GMC? I haven't had the time to see if I could go out and buy a new one, but I did do some searching for a used one at the big automotive swap meet last weekend...didn't find anything tho. Any ideas/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
