    Is 36” the standard for vans?

    What’s the wheelbase of your truck.

    Can’t remember I’ll check. I remember it being a shorter than I thought because it’s an FLD with that long set back axle. Looks like a longer wheelbase that similar late model aero trucks with same wheelbase because the drives sat a little further back from the cab.
     
    CAXPT Thanks this.

    Just about everything in my yard leaves the adjustment bolt and 3/4” of 5th wheel plate exposed when you arrive at the pin.

    24inches is a usual short pin setting on 48ft vans and reefers
    36inches is a normal pin setting for 53's
    48inches is a sometimes option.

    For what it's worth when I pulled refers a couple times. I had to have my wheel slid all the way back or the engine was hitting my headache rack

    Remember Tri-Lines Cabbage Patch Kids? No need to measure that sort of thing there. You could put 6’ of pipe over the front of the trailer and turn those with lots of room yet. Take some effort to get something tangled up in the headboard of one of those trucks.
     
    cke, beastr123 and CAXPT Thank this.

    Swing will depend on your trailer. Most van trailers I've seen are 36" pin, where is a lot of flats are a lot less. You would need to know what trailer your using first before accurately measuring.
