Reese Fifth Wheel Bracket Kit Recommendation for 2011 Ford F-350 Short Bed
Question:
Hello. I have a GMC that has the rp30035 universal rail kit in it now. I am trading the truck in for a 2011 F350 short bed. Can I just use the Reese 50026 installation brackets and use the same base rails? I am on a tight budget and dont want to spend more than I have to. Thanks for your time.

Expert Reply:
Yes, the rails of the part # RP30035 are compatible with the bracket kit part # RP50026. Since the hardware that attaches the rails to the brackets is considered one time use you will have to replace it as well with part # RP58430. Then you'd basically have the part # RP50026-58.
With those two part numbers though you'd be good to go.
I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
