Easiest Way to Tow Fifth Wheel Trailer with Flatbed Truck with Recessed Gooseneck Hitch
Question:
Hi, I have a 2007 Chevy 2500 hd classic 4x4 with the 6.0. It has around a 8ft flat bed with a resest gooseneck. I was wondering what would be the best and safest way to tow a fifth wheel.

Installing a fifth wheel hitch in the bed of a truck that has a flat bed with a recessed ball can be challenging but for a simpler solution I would use a Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G which would attach to your king pin plate and give it a gooseneck coupler for your gooseneck ball to attach to.
