  • Rail Kit to Allow Use of Gooseneck Hitch Adapter in 1975 Ford F-250 Long Bed Pickup
  • We do not have any under-bed gooseneck hitches for your 1975 Ford F-250 long bed but we do have a way for you to tow a gooseneck trailer. You can start with an above-bed 5th wheel rail kit like the Reese Universal 5th wheel install kit # RP30035 that you referenced and to these rails add a gooseneck adapter like Curt Offset Adpater # 16055 which drops right into those base rails. This and other gooseneck adapters for 5th wheel rails appear on the linked page. The various adapters are available...

  • Availability Of Replacement Tarp In Grey For A TruXedo TruXport
  • We do carry the Replacement Tarp for TruXedo TruXport Soft, Roll-up Tonneau Cover # TX2386-CVR which is black in color and is confirmed to fit your 1979 F-250 Long bed. Unfortunately we do not carry it in grey. I have not seen a tarp in grey for a very long time and I am not sure if they are even made anymore. It may be worth contacting TruXedo directly to see if they are able to custom make one.

Although the rocker panels are not as strong as the frame the steps that mount to them, such as DeeZee # DZ3700301 and those shown on the linked page, would be further to the outsides of the truck and so have less physical stress on them once mounted.

  • 5th Wheel Hitch for 1978 Ford F-250 Without Truck Bed
  • If your 1978 Ford F-250 does not have a bed installed you may need to have a custom installation done for a 5th wheel. The universal base rail install kit # RP30035 that would normally be used in the truck requires a bed. Without a bed on the truck your hitch may be at too low a height for some trailers. A 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch has to be secured to the frame rails, either with a welded-on steel plate that can serve as the mounting point for the hitch or with a kit that has frame...
