You'll have a hard time finding a decent sized fiver and staying under payload rating of a 3/4t diesel truck. If you went by payload rating alone, most 3/4 truck with fivers would be overweight.
More important is to stay under the tire and axle ratings. Load up your truck and go to a scale. Measure the rear axle weight. A fivers pin weight is mostly carried on the rear axle so the difference between your loaded axle weight and the RAWR is what you can handle for pin weight.
