• Custom Installation Brackets 50043-6008 for a 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  
• If your truck is not a cab and chassis model truck (no bed from factory) this kit will work on your truck provided the bed is six feet or longer. I have provided a link below to instructions for the 50060-6008 and they show where the rails will be placed in the bed and where the center of the hitch will be located; just in front of the center of the wheel wells.
