Fifth Wheel Rail Kit Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot Bed
Question:
I have an older Husky hitch CP 07054 and I am wondering if it will fit my Ford F150? What rail kit and parts do I need if it does?

The Husky fifth wheel hitch CP 07054 you referenced is designed to fit industry standard fifth wheel rails. For a rail kit that is custom fit for your 2013 Ford F-150 which would work well you'd want the Reese kit part # RP50081-58. This is a custom install kit which means that it will install in less time and minimize drilling over a universal kit like you referenced.
Since your truck bed is less than 6 feet though you'll need to use a Sidewinder pin box installed on your trailer to give you the clearance needed to make a tight turn.
Sidewinders are pin box specific so you will first need to know what pin box you have now in order to pick out the correct one.
There should be a sticker or a stamping on the OEM pin box of the trailer that will list the pin box number that is on the trailer.
Once you figure out which pin box you have you can check the FAQ I attached that has a chart that shows the correct Sidewinder to get based on which pin box you have.
