5th wheel hitch position in the bed
Can anyone tell me or does it matter that the Kingpin head is directly over the centerline of the rear axle? Or is it just a matter of you having enough clearance to keep from hitting the cab and side...

I always tell my hitch installer where I want the pin/GN ball location in my trucks.
I prefer zero over the rear axle for a short bed truck. This gets the trailer as far as possible from the trucks cab.....and allows the most distance when using a sliding hitch.
On my long bed trucks for my heavy GN trailers and 5th wheel RV trailers I have the pin/ball 4" in front of the axle.
