Fit of B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch in Underbed Installation Kit BWGNRK1012

Question:

I have an older 5-6 years Band W companion 5th wheel hitch with a detachable square for the gooseneck square hole. The is 2.5 inches square. If I buy the new underbed gooseneck assembly for my 2011 chevy Silverado, will the old fit in the gooseneck ball hole so I can use my older companion hitch?

If you install the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch # BWGNRK1012 in your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Series with 6-1/2 Foot Bed you will still be able to use your Companion 5th wheel hitch. This gooseneck kit shares the same square-shank ball hole.

For a wiring harness for the bed of the truck you can use # C56000.
