Randyretired Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 When I built my deck many years ago to haul our car I used an old redneck method. I paced back from the truck far enough to get a good picture of where the bed would be on the truck. Then paced back the same amount from the car a took a picture of that. Then printed both. Cut out the car and pasted it on the truck. Then took measurements as needed and built the bed. If nothing else it helps to visualize what is needed. It worked for me.

Wrknrvr Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 If you look at the rear of my bed it shows the hitch in the forward position. I can leave it there to pull the 5th wheel. But if the jeep is loaded then the hitch needs to slide to the rear most position. At that point the centerline of the pin is 27" behind the bed. I used the original sliding hitch mechanism to make the hitch movable. I you were to use a ET hitch to do this project I would think about making a sliding assembly for it to fit the subject you are thinking of. It is doable ,. Just need to think it through. Just thinking ,. Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
