Gooseneck to 5th wheel adapter

Ignore the responses above about the kingpin adapters and gooseboxs, they must not have read your post. To those that didn't read the OP's question, what he posted was a product that uses the underbed gooseneck hitch to mount a fifth wheel hitch into the truck. He asked nothing about converting the pin box or adding an adapter to the pin.

I do not have one but have recently been looking at these same type of hitches. Unfortunately my truck has the Remov-A-Ball hitch which they do not recommend for the type of fifth wheel hitch your asking about. You might to make sure of the brand of hitch and that they recommend a fifth wheel adapter. I will probably just install a separate rail/hitch system in my scenario.

You are correct...

The bulldog adaptor is Cequents response to The B&W Companion. This hitch uses a single jaw type closure and appears to be very sturdy.

The OP has Cequents Underbed gooseneck hitch. His options to use this gooseneck are either the Bulldog fifth wheel gooseneck adaptor or use an Andersen Ultimate. To use a B&W companion the Op would have to install a B&W Turnover Ball underbed gooseneck hitch then he can use the Companion.

I do not know of any specially made shank that will work with the Cequent gooseneck hitch and the companion by B&W...

OP. I searched extensively and have found very few reviews on the Bulldog...but the design seems sound. I really like the single jaw design and I think it would serve you well.

The Andersen is a good hitch as well. Just be aware, Chains may be required in your jurisdiction if you go with the Andersen. (Not a big deal IMHO)

The option to install a seperate set of above bed rails is still there depending on the OP's preference.

Thanks!
