Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation that Fits 2005 Ford F-250 Short Bed
Question:
I have a 2005 F250 short bed and a valley 5th wheel hitch. Can I get the rails and custom install kit for this application? Thanks for your help,

The Valley fifth wheel hitches were designed to fit the industry standard fifth wheel rails so what you'd need is a rail kit that fits your 2005 Ford F-250 short bed like the # C16448-204 from Curt. This is a custom install kit too which means that it will install in much less time than an universal kit and minimize drilling as well.
I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2008 Ford F-250 just like yours as well.
