are you going to put in a flip over fifth wheel and gin poles on the bed ?

Yes to the gin poles, if you look very carefully you can see them layed alongside the outer planks, yet to drill them for the pulley though.
The 5th wheel slots into the bed for now above the pivot for the rear bogie.

Truckmaker has given me an idea for a king pin rising up out of the bed, something to think about!

sorry i didn't look hard enough lol now i see both and the fifth wheel on the headache rack
the pop up pin will be good, easy to do with a little servo
now how will the poles be lifted lol i guess i watched that video to many times lol but i did like the step /chain locker on the rig-up bed, again easy to do with a tiny servo , but sitting here at the computer it is all easy ROFL

Nice container! Is there any weight to it? I can't wait to see a video of it hooked up to something that will lift the steer axle off the ground while it picks it up.
