We do not offer mounting brackets for flat bed trucks because there can be so many different dimensions. You will need to fabricate brackets or have them made for the fifth wheel installation.

My contact at Demco said they use 3/8-inch steel for the brackets they have and they said they recommend using three brackets for each side.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
