Got the 5th wheel latch kit from www.butchsservices.com for $50 and installed it today. Here's what it looks like: http://s1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd467/DQDick/Bed%20Saver/

Looking at the two different photos--JMHO but, in the first one I can picture what those bolt heads would do to the plastic lube plate most of use on our pin box when it slides up over during hitch-up. The second install looks way better with mounting brackets below the fifth plate tabs and with the round head Allen screws.
Nevertheless, the device looks like less bang (very desirable) for not to much buck.

Thanks for the reminder Dick, just ordered one. I was waiting for a Super Glide model to come out and kind of forget about it. Now that there is one I gotta have it. Hope I never need it. I saw a fiver that had come off the hitch in the road this Winter in Kerrville, TX. 2 guys were loading up the bent tailgate and getting ready to try and re-hitch the trailer. Tailgate looked like a pretzel. I hope there wasn't any damage to his fiver.

I assume the added on bar is supposed to catch the king pin

Here's mine installed on a B&W Companion hitch...:
For less than what a lot of folks spend at Star(big)bucks a week, it IMHO, is a nice addition to the hitch that may prevent a 1 in 1,000,000 mishap. Light weight, compact, rugged in design and simple to use.
My 2 cents, your mileage may vary...
