Using Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 on your 1975 Dodge D200 you would measure from the rear edge of the bed 29-5/8 inches forward. This is where the rear edge of the back rail will be. Once it is in place you would use the hitch to locate the front rail. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. You will want to look at sheet 19 of 23 in addition to the common instructions at the front of the instructions.
