    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    As far as you know is there any advantage of the Holland one over the after market one?

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Soni, Do you remember about how much the Holland 2" plate is? You had mentioned getting us the part number before, did you happen to find it?

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    I could not agree more! Hopefully you have CNC machines to knock them out for you. I'm interested in probably 2 or 3 now/ASAP/Very soon and probably 1 or 2 more later. When you figure out a price, please let us know!!

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Well lacking an official hardness tester that time honored test is usually pretty good indicator. I have a 2" pin where I'll be tomorrow, I'll check that one and see. Looks like it might not be an issue. Thats good as it will make the parts less expensive...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    I wonder if the king pin or the hitch plate is heat treated? Do you have a hardness tester? I'm not saying that the adapters SHOULD be heat treated, only that it is something to be considered. If neither the pin or plate are heat treated then I don't see the need to do the adapters. On the...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Cool. Thanks! I went to their site and saw the part but no price, (No price on anything on their site - seems an odd way to do business). I sent them an email asking the price. However... It looks like we may have a USA source soon! Great news Jeff! I assume they will be steel. Will they be...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Is there an adapter like the one abive that is commercialy available? I Googled but found nothing. Can the plate on the 920 (Just the plate part) be changed to a 2" and leave the tilting part working?

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    OK, that makes sense. Define "Larger trucks". Do you mean commercial trucks as opposed to RV size or military trucks as opposed to civilian? I guess the pins are different sizes just like hitch balls are different sizes. Now I have to learn why/what of 5th wheel king pins... And stupid me I...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Most likely something like a M146 or M129 (If I can find a M129) Or a civilian trailer about 20-30' long. Whichever it ends up being, it will be built up as an RV. Will also get a 35-45' lowboy to use for... whatever... :) Northeast Polk Co, not to far from Polk City.

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Not sure this should be in this forum or the trailer forum but since it is on the truck, not on the trailer..... I have been told that some of the 5th wheel plates used by the military have a side to side tilting feature. Apparently there are some wedges you insert to limit the movement while...
