Helpful Expert Reply:
If you are using the Reese universal installation kit # RP30035 then it is compatible with your 2004 Ford F-250 long bed. The measurement from the rear edge of the bed to the back edge of the rear rail is 32-1/2 inches on your truck.
The rails and brackets can be reused but not the hardware. It is meant to be torqued down just once. To replace the hardware you will need # 58164.
If you are using a different 5th wheel installation kit I would need to know what it is to determine if it is a fit for your truck and what the measurement is.
