Hey y'all... so I've found a potential truck that has a factory installed flatbed. Owner states that it has a gooseneck ball mounted underneath an access door in the 8' bed and that I should be able to mount a fifth wheel plate on there without much effort.
I pull a 5th wheel right now but am not familiar with a goose neck... what would this entail for me to set it up correctly?
You could purchase a 5er hitch that mounts to the ball in the floor of the truck...and go with a conventional 5th wheel hitch..
If you opt for a GN, I'm not that familiar with which one's to recommend...but I believe B&W makes a 5er hitch to fit over ball in bed of truck, also Curt, but not sure.
There is also the Andersen Ultimate 5er hitch that has been discussed on these forums that would fit over the ball, worth looking into...(Tweedy's sell's quite a few hitches with free shipping and you could look up several of these hitches.)
