Possible Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Solution for GMC C6500 Truck
Question:
I have a GMC C6500 commercial truck I would like to add a fifth wheel hitch to. I will be pulling a back hoe at 20,600 lbs and I estimate the trailer to be 6,200 lbs. Plus I want to pull a fifth wheel occasionally too. Can you please recommend a fifth wheel hitch? I can weld and add metal to install, but any mounting kit that would make it easier would be appreciated. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
We don't have any custom rail and bracket kits that are going to fit your truck but you might be able to come up with a way to install the universal rail kit part # RP30035 though. This comes with the standard fifth wheel rails that most hitches are designed to fit and L-brackets to install them.
Only issue I can think of is that the bed of your truck might be higher or lower than a standard truck bed which will make towing a trailer level a challenge.
