    20 foot bed and you want to put a fifth wheel on it?

    You going to pull a short trailer with that?

    I would get another truck or haul on the 20 foot bed. The truck has been out of production for a while, the company is gone and the truck is a PIA to travel in - I had one once.

    By the way Steer, it is a sterling medium duty cab over truck.
