Spud, I think we are preaching to the choir here.
That pic shows the rod push in apparently after the king pin was far enough to allow it.
OR maybe someone released the king pin, left the Butch's latch in and pulled far enough forward to show Butch's rod/bed saver catching the king pin and not alowing the fifth wheel to drop onto the bed rails. I give. :W
The purpose of the picture is to show that butches takes up part of the lower ramp of the hitch head.
Once in a great while I hit that low, but don't worry as the truck and slope will pick up the 5er.
