Im looking to pull a utility trailer behind my truck. Has anyone modified a receiver to fit a 1/2 ton? I have the chrome rear bumper. Was gonna go to the junkyard and find one that would work after a little modification. Any suggestions out there?

you could just make one yourself they are pretty easy. just use real heavy channel to go around frame and between. weld the receiver tube where it comes out just below the bumper. you can make one 5 times stronger than any one you could purchase. most will be under the bed so you will only see receiver tube as long as your welds are good no problem. you can use grade 8 bolts i like 3 bolts thru side and 1 thru bottom but that's prob overkill.
