Replacement Legs to Convert Sliding Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch to a Fixed Hitch

Question

Question:

I have a Curt C16521 That I purchased in june. I got rid of my short bed truck and now have a 3500 long bed. I was wanting to make it more like the C16120 to make it easier to remove. Do you sell just the legs.

Use # C16920 to convert your sliding Curt A16 fifth wheel hitch to a fixed hitch.

If you need the custom install kit for your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 it's # C16411-204. The brackets alone are # C16411 and the rails are # C16204.

Also, if you want to add a 7-way wiring connector to the bed of your 3500 use # 50-97-410.
