A fifth wheel assembly for a pick-up truck having a frame disposed below the truck bed that supports a plurality of receptacles that define oblong openings. The fifth wheel assembly includes a fifth wheel hitch, and a plurality of bushings including a boss portion having a cylindrical protrusion on an upper surface and an oblong protrusion on a lower surface. The locations of the bushings are sells-adjusting to facilitate orienting the oblong protrusions to be inserted into the oblong openings. Jam nuts are assembled to the cylindrical protrusion of each of the bosses that are tightened to fix the position of the bosses. T-pins have an oblong head oriented in alignment with the oblong protrusions when inserted into the oblong openings in an unlocked position. The T-pins are pivoted to a locked position after being inserted through the oblong openings.
