[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 788927, member: 8829"] I have made a couple of these for guys and they are pretty simple we took a piece of 1/2 thick plate steel and cut it in a 18" -24" circle cut a hole in the plate so the kingpin could be bolted to the plate then got a piece or heavy wall 4" or 6" pipe ( I used schedule80 cut roughly 6 inches took a peice of 1/2 plate and welded in the top of the pipe and another inside the pipe with 1/2 space between it and the top piece both of these had a hole for the gooseneck ball to bolt thru bolt the gooseneck bale on the pipe then welded the pipe to the first plate over the hole where the kingpin was bolted thru then I added gussetts to the pipe and plate in 4 directions for strength if you are doing alot of hauling the S/A tractor will a longer life, better handling capabilities and just as good of fuel mileage if not better than the 1 ton and actually less maintenance than the 1 ton or alot of guys around here take and weld or bolt a channel iron between the the frame rails of the semi behind the 5th wheel with a goosenck ball on it [/QUOTE]
