Saw this while driving to work this morning. I figure it's a little off balance. Front axle was barely touching the ground. View attachment 14479

Rear axle tire blow out in 3-2-1....

Exploder with a hill billy pintle hitch! These are the things you see in a parking lot and are glad it’s not hooked to something and roaring down the freeway beside you.

You really have to wonder what the design looked like in their head as opposed to the finished product. The carriage bolts with lock washers just blew my mind and the adjustable turnbuckle does what?

As you add tongue weight you can adjust the pitch of the hitch so it looks less sketchy lol

That turnbuckle tickles me. I guess he wanted the ability to make precise adjustments.

This is like watching a movie where someone gets stabbed and you feel a sensation in the same spot. I feel the pain these trucks are enduring.

Should be an organization to help rescue these trucks.... something like PETA

Single axle 5th wheel? Could be a light older model from the 70s or 80s? So without seeing if the truck is squatted, weight could be good.

Maybe a Scamp, still make them. Super lightweight 5th wheels.
