I am in the process of building me a western hauler type truck to tow my fifth wheel. I have bought a international 4700 crew cab to start with,dt 466 with a allison. My question is if anyone had experience on locating the hitch. What I have is a cab and chassis set up for a 14 foot bed that I am wanting to keep the hitch as close to the rear as I can so that I may haul a smart car If I want. If I go with center line of axle then I won't have enough room behind the cab.
