Brackets to Install Reese Rails in Bed of 1985 Ford F-250
Question:
Hey Guys... Have a Reese 30031 hitch with rails. Need just the bracket kit for an old moldy 1985 Ford F-250 actually 100 restored. Trailer weighs 2200 Taurus 18 foot lite.... Has air bags but no overload springs...may have to remove airbags?...dunno....Plowed through all the data pages but am still a bit uneasy with the multitude of choices....what the hell, Im 87, comes with the territory... Thanks for holding my hand...

Expert Reply:
The brackets you need to install your Reese fifth wheel rails are the universal L-brackets part # RP58314 which are confirmed to fit your 1985 Ford F-250 and the Reese rails you have. You'll also need the hardware kit part # RP58504 as well as # RP58430 and you'd be set! Your air bags would not need to be removed either.
