Subject: RE: Tilting to Non-tilting 5th wheels



Find some solid blocks that fit under the front and back with very little slop. Weld some sort of "C" shaped rod or bar to them so you just hold it up and slide it in from the side. Rig up some sort of place you can drop in a pin to keep them from sliding out. Doesn't have to be strong the strain is all on the blocks you just need to keep them from sliding out. Do the same on both sides.

Pipe and pins work but sometimes the welds break and it can be a real pita to get them in and out. BTDT. Remember you will have to take them back out every time you go to a regular trailer.

Send me an email with a phone number if you want me to explain it better.
