need some info on a fifth wheel

[Madd Trucker]

I need some pics of the fifth wheel used on the 25/26 Mack tractors mainly the one with the hydralic tank and pump as I am building a 25/ 26 Mack Tractor with a dump trailer.

Thanks in advance for any help

I'm no expert, but I noticed that you didn't get any responses, and I didn't want you to think that nobody cared. There's a Mack museum in or around Pennsylvania someplace. I only visited it once, and that was like 20 years ago, and I was visiting several other museums at the same time, so my memory is fuzzy. You might try contacting them. The people that operated it were very nice to my group, and we were able to get some good detail shots of trucks. There should also be a Mack club that might be able to give you information on people with trucks that might be attending truck shows in areas around you. I know this isn't much help, but it's all that I have to offer. Good luck.

What he said^^^. I did a couple of online searches and while finding a lot of pictures of old Macks, I could not find one of a 5th wheel...If it were me, I would just have to assume that 5th wheel technology has not changed in eons and go with maybe a slightly smaller one than you would find on a modern truck. It'll mostly be hidden by the kingpin plate, won't it? I'm sorry we couldn't be of more help...
