The only 5th wheel rail kit that works with both your 1993 Ford F-250 and a Reese 5th wheel hitch is the B&W Universal Base Rails and Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWRVR3200. These rails have the industry standard mounting locations which allows them to fit with Reese hitches.
