Hi Brian; a swing away tongue like the one you're referencing isn't something we carry and odds are you aren't going to find it anywhere. However, that doesn't mean I can't help you out. What you can use instead is the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit. We have the following available:

-Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 7,000 lbs # FHDPB340301

-Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 2" x 3" Trailer Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPB230101

-Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 5" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 9,000 lbs # FHDPB350101

With the hinge you will be able to build a new tongue and bolt/weld-on a new brake actuator like the # T63FR you were looking at. This is designed for a 3" wide channel tongue and drum brakes. If you have disc brakes you can use the # DX56FR instead. Doing this also means you don't have to try to find an actuator that fits inside the old tongue since most of the time one that lines up doesn't exist.
