Yes, the king pin on the Bulldog Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Coupler Adapter you referenced, part # BD0289650300, is the same size as that used on a standard semi- truck hitch.

This 4-inch square gooseneck-to-king-pin adapter features a raw finish, adjustable height and weight carrying capacity of 30,000-lbs.
