5th Wheel Base Rails Recommendation for a 2000 Ford F-250 That Already Has Frame Brackets

Question:

I have a 2000 Ford F-250 that had the bed replaced. The frame hardware is still attached to the frame. Is as simple as just drilling the holes up through the underside of the bed to reinstall the hitch rails?

Yeah, if you already have the frame brackets installed you'd just need to attach the rails by drilling into your bed to line up with the brackets.

After that you'd just button everything up and tighten your bolts to the specified torque specs and you'd be set. I've included an install video showing this process being done for you to check out.

If you need rails, you can use the Reese Universal Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP58058.
