• Curt Gooseneck Hitch that Fits 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with Short Bed
  We have custom fit gooseneck hitches from Curt that are a confirmed fit for your 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500HD short bed like with the part # C60712 but the # C65500 you referenced is essentially just a plate that could be fabricated to fit nearly all applications but the install will be pretty involved since you'd have to weld to the truck frame etc. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

• Recommended Gooseneck Hitch for a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
  I have a great gooseneck hitch that will fit all bed lengths of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. It is the B&W item # BWGNRK1309. The Turnover Ball System gives you complete access to your bed when not in use. You simply remove the ball from hitch, flip it upside down, and drop it back into hitch for storage. I linked an installation video below that we did on a 2011 Dodge Ram. To make towing with a gooseneck trailer easier, I recommend adding the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness...

• Parts Needed to Install Gooseneck on a 2008 Ford F550
  After speaking to my contact at Curt, I have found the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate # C65500 is a compatible fit for your 2008 Ford F-550 Super Duty. It comes with a 2-5/16 inch ball rated at 30,000 lbs and D rings. With the amount of weight you most likely will be towing, I recommend to install the plate only using the Curt Universal Gooseneck Ball Rail Kit, # C61502 rails. Just bolting the plate to the truck without adding rails will not allow it to meet the 30,000 lb rating. Also, I...

• Best Way to Drill Holes Through the Curt Gooseneck Flat Plate Part # C65500
  The best way to drill through the Curt gooseneck flat plate # C65500 is using a standard drill and drill bit. When drilling go slow and steady. It's a soft steel so you won't have any issues drilling a hole. When you're drilling through metal, it's a good idea to drill the holes in two or three stages. Begin with a small diameter bit and use the subsequent bits to gradually enlarge the hole I would use the pre-drilled holes in the rails to mark the locations on the flat plate. I included...

• Is There a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Compatible With Firestone Air Bags For 2013 Ford F-150 6-1/2' Bed
