A fifth wheel slide assembly includes a deck plate mounted on the frame of a tractor, with a pair of toothed guide rails on the upper surface. A conventional fifth wheel with pedestal and hitch plate is selectively slidably movable along the toothed rails. A plurality of apertures are formed adjacent each toothed rail, and have freely rotatable rollers projecting therethrough for supporting a pair of flat support plates on the bottom of the fifth wheel pedestal. A pair of stops are mounted on the rearward end of the deck plate to prevent movement of the pedestal beyond the rearward end. The side edges of the deck plate include inwardly opening channels receiving outwardly projecting flanges on the pedestal, to prevent movement of the pedestal upwardly off of the deck plate.
