Availability of Fifth Wheel Frame Mounting Brackets Less the Bed Rails for 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500

Question:

I just need the installation plates not the rails. Is it possible to get just them and how much. Thanks

You can indeed purchase the frame brackets only. You'll need part # RP50064. The rails include the necessary hardware to attach the brackets to the truck frame. The hardware to attach the brackets to the bed rails is part # RP58430. It's not recommended to reuse the hardware.

You'll also want to make sure your hitch bed rails were manufactured by Reese. Using rails and brackets from two different manufacturers isn't recommended because the two parts haven't been tested together. You could end up with an unknown weight capacity.

If you don't already have a 7-way installed in your truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157. I've linked you to installation videos for the frame brackets as well as the wiring harness.
