Custom Mounting Brackets for Old Style Demco Base Rails on 2016 Silverado 1500
Question:
I have an older model fwh24pa hitch that I would like to install on my 2016 chevy silverado. I am looking for the frame bracket kit to bolt it up. Can you tell me the kit that would work?

Expert Reply:
I'm assuming you still have the old rails so you can use the # DM8552027 to mount them in your 2016 Silverado 1500. If that is not the case, you would need to switch to universal rails like # DM8552027-71 and a different 5th wheel hitch like # DM8550034 or # DM8550043. The old rails have been discontinued and are no longer available.
