Where to Locate Fifth Wheel Rails in Bed of 2003 GMC Sierra 1500HD 6-1/2 ft Bed
Question:
I need the location dimensions for the Husky CP07054 Hitch Rails for a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 HD.

Expert Reply:
The Husky part CP07054 is actually a fifth wheel hitch and not a rail kit. If you wanted to install a universal rail kit like the part # RP30035 in your truck I can help with the needed dimensions for that though.
From the rear edge of the truck bed to the rear edge of the rear rail will measure 25-1/8 inches. You would then use the hitch to locate the front rail once you have placed the rear rail. This ensures that the hitch fits as smoothly as possible.
