The easiest way to install the RBW fifth-wheel in your 1999 Ford F-350 would be to use a Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches, item # RP50082-58, in the bed of your pickup. This installation kit is the easiest to install and does not require nearly as much drilling as a Universal Installation Kit, item # RP30035.

Using the rails from your original RBW installation is not recommended because you would be mixing another manufacturers installation hardware with the RBW rails. RBW hitches will fit in the Reese/Draw-Tite rails.
