  • 1995 Ford F-250 Curt Double Lock, Flip and Store Underbed Gooseneck Hitch
  • That's a great question, your measurement will come from behind the cab.

The other option, 34" frame, was typically the cab/chassis option sold to up-fitters placing custom boxes, beds on vehicle. I recommend the Curt Gooseneck Hitch # C60723, this is...

  • Is a Custom 5th Wheel Rail Installation Kit Available for a 1996 Ford F-250 with 8 foot bed
  • At this time the only install kits available for the 1996 Ford F-250 with 8 foot bed are the universal installation kits like the Reese Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit, item # RP30035. Installation of this style kit takes a bit longer and requires more drilling, but once the initial installation is complete, the rails are there whenever needed.

If you will be towing other fifth wheel trailers and need to keep your fifth wheel on the truck at all times and do not want to pull the fifth wheel on and off, we do have adapter tubes. If you have a round gooseneck coupler with a 4 inch outer diameter, you could...
