Mounting Hole Measurements for Reese Universal 5th Wheel Rails
Question:
I have a 1995 Ford F250HD long bed, 8800GVWR. It was once setup for towing a fifth wheel or gooseneck. It has lots of holes drilled in the bed and some brackets on the frame bolted/welded to the truck frame rails. I am trying to figure out if the holes that are there will line up with the mounting holes in the 30035 rails. Can you post dimensions between the mounting hole locations for a rail? Not the dimensions for the hitch itself, the holes used to mount the rails to the truck.

Helpful Expert Reply:
On the rails that come with universal installation kit # RP30035 there are 4 holes at either end of each rail and on either the forward or rearward flange for a total of 8 holes per end per rail. From the center of the outer most hole to the center of the next hole is 1-3/4 inches. It is the same between the second and third holes. But from the third to the fourth it is 1-3/16 inches.
The center to center distance between the 2 inner most holes is 31-1/2 inches. I have included a picture to illustrate this.
