The Reese 15K 5th Wheel Hitch 30049 that you referenced is the same as the Reese 16K 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30051 save for the head but they both use the same base, Reese Square Tube Slider for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP30048. I am not sure which pins that you need but if you are referring to the ones that hold the base to the rails then you can use part # 6014 but if you are referring to the ones that hold the head to the base then you can use part # PC2 (2). Also, if you would like to upgrade to the new style head which has side to side movement you can use the Replacement Head for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch part # RP58146.

I have sent a separate email to you with the manual for the Reese 15K 5th Wheel Hitch 30049.
