Based on the 11" B&W Hitch you were talking about I'm assuming you got the B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # BWRVK3050. If so, this was meant for flat bed trucks without bed rails and will give you give clearance issues when using it in a normal truck.
Depending on the length of your bed you would want the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # BWRVK3500-5W for a long bed and the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W for a short... view full answer...

Hand cranking a jack up and down every time really is a pain in the you know what! Going electric is one of the easiest and most helpful upgrades you can do. Electric jack # EJ-3520-BBX will fit in place of a manual A-frame jack that has an outer tube diameter of 2-1/4 inches. The bolt pattern is an industry standard so the bolt holes will line up. As long as the existing jack also has a 2-1/4 inch diameter outer tube then this electric jack will fit in its place.

Frame widths for determining if a hitch will fit a truck are measured from outside to outside. Most likely you measured inside to inside and got 36 inch but you should still check. Also, 34 inch frames are almost always cab and chassis trucks which it doesn't sound like you have.
If you do not have the 34 inch frame the Curt hitch part # C60723 is going to fit and work well. view full answer...

Given the dimensions you provided, something like # DE1020BK from Canine Covers in black would be a much better fit. The cover is 60 inches wide, so it will fit your seat perfectly, and is designed for a seat depth of 19 inches and a seat back height of 23 inches.

The Derale fan you asked about is only able to be used as a puller, so it wouldn't work as a pusher application. And these electric fans should be mounted inside the engine compartment as opposed to outside (you wouldn't want it exposed to the elements).
The best option we can offer if you have limited clearance is a pusher fan with as little depth as possible:
- Derale 17" High-Output, Electric, Single Radiator Fan - 2,400 CFM # D18217
This is a single fan which is 16-7/8" wide x 16-7/8"... view full answer...
