The hardware you need is the Reese Universal Installation Kit for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches (No Base Rails) # RP30439. These brackets and hardware work with Reese 10-bolt base rails to install your fifth-wheel trailer hitch.

I have install videos and the installation instructions attached to this help document.
