Unfortunately we do not carry any replacement parts for an RBW 5th wheel hitch. Even if the Reese Fifth Wheel Slider # RP30048 legs fit the head assembly (which it most likely wouldn't since the assemblies vary by manufacturer) no weight capacity could be guaranteed since they have not been tested together.

If you are needing to replace your stationary 5th wheel hitch with a slider then I recommend going with the Curt A20 # C16541. It is a 20K manual sliding 5th wheel hitch that uses a round tube for the sliding action which is much less prone to binding than the traditional squared design.

The dual jaws, self-aligning head, and spherical axial bearing helps to give you a very smooth towing experience while the 2-pin head removal will let you quickly and effectively install and uninstall your A20 hitch. As long as you have the industry standard base rails then this is a fit for your short bed truck.
