fifth wheel Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Here are two different ways to mount the angle iron, angle out with plate allows for front to back adjustment, place to make stationary and ease to remove. Angle in is much cleaner look with little or no options for change. I have had good service from the Holland brand.FW Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18484-fifth-wheel-mounting/#findComment-75231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
leversole Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks for the photos! Exactly what I needed!

Jennifer Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thank's, has their own way of doing things. If I put it on the inside I will have to grind away some of the corner due to the angle iron chamfer on the inside.
