5th Wheel Base Rail Kit for 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Short Bed Using Pull-Rite SuperGlide 3300
Question:
Howdy - I will be purchasing a 1988 23-1/2foot Prowler Lynx 5th wheel. The seller is including a brand new Pullrite 3300 Superslide hitch in the sale. What mounting brackets do you recommend? Not sure of the exact model of the hitch yet. Just checking on pricing.

Expert Reply:
Your Pullrite hitch model 3300 is a type that uses industry-standard above-bed base rails that will accept a compatible 5th wheel hitch from any brand. I recommend a custom-fit install kit since this will reduce drilling requirements and overall installation time. You can use Curt kit # C16418-204 in your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 short bed.
For an in-bed 5th wheel wiring harness you can use kit # C56000 which installs simply by plugging in at your existing 7-way.
