5th wheel pin box bike rack
Hello I was wondering if you can buy these or does everybody fabricate them ?

Here are a couple of pictures from about 14 years and two trailers ago. This was a novelty concept back then but it worked. I used the frame mounted bike rack that held 4 bikes and that allowed the shorter kids bike to be above the truck cab for extra clearance. Other than the bike rack the rest was fabricated by a local shop. I brought in a drawing of what I wanted and they made it from there.
It worked for the time but wasn't the most convenient loading, I always stood on the tailgate while my wife handed me bikes. I think the poster who has the rack that lowers would be the way to go.
Currently now that our kids are older its usually just the wife and I so I put our two bikes in the rear seat area of the truck with the seats folded up and that is much easier not to mention safer for the bikes in terms of theft, bugs, and rain.
