    5th wheel to lunette conversion for m35a2 tow

    I like that but still to high. My bed is 10 inches higher than the 5 th wheel pin plate. It is almost level with pintle hitch. I can make up this difference with adapter fabrication.

    5th wheel to lunette conversion for m35a2 tow

    I have a m35a2 and 35 ft 5th wheel trailer. The deuce is to high for the 5 th wheel pin. I don't want to remove bed. Has anyone thought or converted a 5th wheel trailer to lunette ring. I know about the banging from the hitch but I can't justify a new truck. Any thoughts?
