Is There a Way To Match 5th Wheel Install Kit Up with Holes Already on 2005 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
Hello I have a 2005 chevy 2500hd my truck previously had 5th wheel bed rails before I purchased it but they have been removed the new brackets bolt holes i have received with this kit do not match the bolt holes in my frame for the front brackets the rear brackets bolt up. My bolt holes for the front measure 2.25inch center to center. What options do I have so I dont have to drill new holes in the frame?

I don't have a way to know what was installed on the truck previously, even with bolt hole measurements to match up to but I do have some bolt-on fifth wheel hitch install kits that will line up with holes already in the frame from the factory such as the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GM part # C16418-204 which is what I recommend. This kit will then allow you to use pretty much any above bed fifth wheel hitch like one from Reese, Curt, Husky etc.
