I have a solution for you, it sounds like you have the 5th wheel hitch and the actual rails the hitch attaches too but are needing the custom mounting hardware for your 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup. You are going to better off getting a new set of mounting hardware and rails because the mounting hardware needs to match your truck and the rails.

For a set of Industry Standard Rails we have the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # BWRVR3200. This will provide you with the mounting hardware that fits your truck and Industry Standard Rails to mount your Reese 5th wheel hitch.

To make hooking up your 5th wheels wiring easier, you can add the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56001 which moves a 7-way connector up into the bed of your truck while retaining use of the 7-way at the rear of your truck.
