[AT] little ot maybe gooseneck hitch

[Larry Marshall]

Lew,
   I just replaced the bed  on my truck and had to drill a hole for the 
ball. The B&W instructions place the center of the ball 48 3/8 inches 
from the back end of the bed. That places it 5 inches in front of the 
axle. My truck is an '01 Dodge, so not sure how close it is to the newer 
body style.
