Need sway and hitch advice please!

I have a 1998 Ford F150 truck.
I need to tow a 1972 27' Overlander for 600 miles.

I want to use a sway bar.
I need a hitch.

What should I buy? I don't know all the technical stuff.
Thank you!

Is this a 'one time only' move to a new owner, or is it going to be a routine trip?

This is a one time only move to a new area.

Drawtite is the cheaper version of Reese and can be had with just round bar weight distribution and frictional dampener. You might try Craigslist in your area for a used hitch.
