    @mile marker 27 do you want to be able to pull a regular trailer or have it blocked permanently?
    Also do you want to be able to slide the 5th wheel while it's blocked?

    I might be able to get some pictures Monday we use Holland fifth wheels. It looks like a fw35 fifth wheel we just use a bar to pin ours. Its like 1 3/8 or close to that i believe with a pipe welded to the fifth wheel.
