Replacement pin boxes like # LC158778 fit specific trailer pin box models so the truck and 5th wheel hitch do not matter. You will need to look at the pin box currently on the trailer and get the manufacturer and model number off of it. Then you can look through the replacement fixed pin boxes we carry, see link, to determine if there is one that fits.
