Recommended 5th Wheel Base Rails for 2005 Ford F-350 With No Bed
Question:
Hi, I have a 2005 Ford f350 Xl super duty regular cab with exposed 8 ft chassis and am having trouble locating a universal reese 16k rail kit base. Already have the hitch but no rails. What do you suggest?

I do have an option for you but above bed base rail kits are just that, they install with base rails that sit above the bed. If you have a cab and chassis or simply a chassis in which the bed was removed from, there's no way to easily install a set of fifth wheel base rails. Therefore, the only thing we can really recommend are universal rails like theReese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # RP58058 which will require custom fabrication for the proper support.
The other option is B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for Flatbed Truck part # BWGNRK1500 and B&W Companion Flatbed Gooseneck-to-5th-Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter part # BWRVK3050 which will also require custom fabrication for installation.
