The install kit for a 1998 Ford F-150 is Reese part # RP50042-58. It includes the under frame brackets, the rails that sit in the bed, as well as all the nuts, bolts and hardware needed to install.

We even have a video of this kit being installed so you can see how it is done. Please note, that if your truck is a 6-1/2 foot bed, you will need to use a sliding fifth wheel to provide enough clearance so that the trailer will not hit the cab in tight turning situations. We offer several sliding fifth wheels that would work like part # RP30051, part # RP30084 and part # RP30083.
