    PG Adams makes frame rails: they have a brake that does 53' worth of 1/2" at a clip last I heard.

    Websites must not update often: I saw pics from the new press getting put in. I remember 53' because I wanted to know what wheelbase that'd come out to ;)

    You know what, I'm dead wrong: Logan Steel in Meriden CT got the 53' brake for 1/2".

    ^^^^ this ^^^^

    Rust between 2 separate plates has the strength of hydraulics!!

    I took my 5th wheel plate completely off, and found a couple mounting bolts nearly rusted in to. I used a needle scaler to clean the frame, then coated it with Chassis Saver. Replaced the bad bolts and all is good.
