Rails and Brackets for Installing Hijacker FWH 24 in a 2018 Chev Silverado 3500HD
Question:
I am looking to see if you have a part number for the mounting brackets so I can mount my Hijacker FWH 24 on a 2018 Chev 3500HD that I just bought.

Your Demco Hijacker fwh 24pa is the older style of fifth wheel hitch from Demco that uses an older unique rail design. The rails needed for it are the part # DM6071 and then for the bracket kit for your 2018 Chevy Silverado you'd want the part # DM8552011 and you'd be set.
For a 7-way to install in the bed of your truck to make connecting your trailer lights easier you would want the part # 41157. Most 7-ways will be at the rear of the truck near the bumper which doesn't work will with fifth wheel hitches. This kit installs in line with the 7-way at the rear of your truck and gives you a second one to install in the bed.
