Manufacturer's love to make it hard for anyone to swap out their pin box so we would need to see the tag for the pin box, which would have a serial number as well as the RPO number in order to determine the bolt pattern. This tag can typically be found on the side of the pin box or on the mounting ears that the pin box connects to. I've attached a picture from a different pin box below to show you an example of what it will look like.
if you can't find this tag then the next step would be to measure the bolts to determine the pattern. I've attached a guide below that will walk you through this process.
Once we have the bolt pattern we can then find a compatible gooseneck pin box. For example, if you had a 1621 bolt pattern and 2,500lb pin weight then you could use the Gen-Y Hitch 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # 325-GH-8045.
