Fifth Wheel Base Rail Kit Installation - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado- Video
Today on our 2007 Chevrolet 2007 Silverado Classic 2500HD we'll be installing the Reese Quick Install Custom Base Rails and Installation Kit for Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitches, Part Number RP500064-58. Now that we have the rear tires as well as the spare tire lowered out of the way, we're going to first begin here by removing the heat shield from underneath the passenger's side of the vehicle. You'll need to cut along these lines of the heat shield because these are areas to access just above it to put our rails for the fifth wheel hitch in. Now that we have our heat shield cut out of the way, we're ready to go up into the bed of the vehicle and take some measurements and line up our front rail. Now, because this vehicle is a long bed, or eight foot box bed, we'll be measuring fifty-two and three-eighth inches from the rear of the bed up to the rear edge of the base rail. Now that we have it measured properly and centered on the bed, I will go ahead and make four marks in the four outer holes of the base rail. Once we have the marks on the bed, we'll go ahead and use an eighth-inch drill bit to put a pilot hole in each location. On the driver's side you'll want to be very careful as you're just above the gas tank. Now that we have our pilot hole in each of the four locations, we'll go ahead and hold up our side-plates to make sure our holes line up with the side-plate holes. Now we'll go back up into the bed and step up the hole to a nine-sixteenths hole. more
