Can Curt Q25 Fifth Wheel Hitch from Older GM Truck be Adapted to fit 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500HD

Question

Question:

I traded into a 2024 Chevrolet 3500 single rear wheel 8foot bed with the GM puck system. I still have my Q25 5th wheel hitch from a 2019 3500 Dual rear wheel truck with the 8foot bed and puck system but the base plates that mount to the trucks puck system are different measurements. Can I use the old system by just purchasing the new baseplates?

Hey Vernon, so the puck systems of the Ram and Chevy trucks are different so you wouldn't be able to use your current B and W Companion slider as-is in the bed of your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. So if you wanted to reuse the head from your…
