Based on my research the 1998 Chevy C3500 V8 has a maximum towing capacity of 10,000-lbs. I was able to find this figure in several online resources. The very best way to confirm a vehicle's towing capacity is to either check the owner's manual, if available, or to contact a dealership with the truck's VIN. This will allow the dealer to look up the factory-installed equipment.

We have 5th wheel hitch installation kits for both the 6-1/2-foot bed and 8-foot bed trucks. The easiest install will come with a custom kit like # HT31402-686 which fits both bed lengths. For a 5th wheel wiring harness you can use # 20023.

The Husky install kit above will allow use of any brand of industry-standard 5th wheel hitch, such as the 16K Husky fixed hitch # HT31313-31314 for long beds or the 16K slider # HT31326-32042 for short beds.
