We offer the Reese Quick-Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit, #RP50082-58, for use on your 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty truck. This kit offers custom brackets which mount beneath your truck bed to provide attachment points for your Reese sliding fifth wheel hitch. I am including a video of the installation of the base rails on a similar truck.

If your truck has a drop-in bed liner, I am including a video which may be of help. It gives a couple tips about measuring and trimming the liner before installing the base rails.
