1996 Ford F-250 5th Wheel Base Rail Recommendation

Question:

I have 96 F250 long bed and I am thinking about buy a used 5 th wheel hitch that has rails but I need the parts to install to under bed of truck. What do you recommend?

I can help you look into replacement parts if you know what exact rails you have, otherwise we need to get you a whole new rail kit like the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit # BWRVR3200 for your 1996 Ford F-250 since the install brackets are rail specific.

If you aren't sure what rails you have then the best case scenario is to get completely new rails and brackets. The B&W rails I referenced above use the industry standard rail system so it's compatible with any 5th wheel using the same system. I'm attaching a photo of the measurements for the industry standard rails that you can check out.
