These base rails are unique to the SL Series hitches like what you have and they will run vertical along the truck bed (as opposed to horizontally across like most do). I called my contact at Demco to find the correct mounting brackets you need to install the rails on your 1969 Ford F-250. He stated that you will need to use the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8553003. He said that these will fit...

• What Rail Kit Would Demco SL Rail Kit Adapter fit for 1997 Dodge Ram 2500
  The Demco SL rails are different from the RBW rails you mentioned so to use the # DM5992 on your 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 you'd need the SL rail kit that fits your truck part # DM8553003-12. There isn't a similar adapter available for your RBW setup. If you needed a fifth wheel hitch as well for the SL rails you'd then also need the part # DM6076SL-16K.

• Availability of Base Rail Installation Kit for Mounting DSP Hitch in 2001 Dodge Ram 6-Foot Bed
  I checked with my technical contact at Demco about compatibility of their Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit # DM8553003-12 with your 1990-era 17K-rated DSP brand 5th wheel hitch. My contact advised that no testing of this combination has ever been done and so they can not make you any absolute assurance that the two brands' parts will work together properly.

• Recommended Demco SL Series Base Rail Brackets for 1996 Dodge Ram 2500
  The Custom Mounting Brackets for Demco Hijacker SL Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # DM8553017 is only a fit for 2017 to 2018 Ford F-250 and F-350 models with 6-3/4 foot bed. None of our manufacturers have a custom fit bracket for your 1996 Ram 2500, so I recommend the Demco SL # DM8553003-12 for the complete compatible kit or just # DM8553003 for the brackets and bracket mounting hardware.

• Rail Kit Options to install Demco FWH 24P in 2006 Dodge Ram 2500
  The Demco fifth wheel hitch fwh 24p came in two different styles. If you see UL or Ultra on the hitch anywhere it was designed to fit standard fifth wheel rails but if instead you see SL the rails needed actually go the opposite direction and require a different style rail kit.
