I can certainly help get you the right mounting brackets for the 5th wheel rails on your 2013 Ford F-150 6-1/2 foot bed. The issue though is that there are different styles of Reese rails and to get you the right brackets I have to know which version of the rails you have.

Reese has 10 bolt rails, # RP58058, that have holes on the outer edges; and there are 4-bolt rails, 30124 that have elongated holes on the tops of the rail ends. The 4-bolt rails are not really used anymore.

For custom fit brackets that will not require drilling use # RP50081. I have linked a video that shows how they install.

We also have semi-custom installation brackets # RP58426 which will require some drilling. I have linked a video of this kit as well.
