Question:

Hi Im interested in this part. I have a 2013 f250 6.7 powerstroke that came with the brackets welded to the frame and holes in the bed but the previous owner kept the rails. Im wondering if you would happen to have dimensions where the rails bolt to the truck so I can use the same holes. Thanks

Expert Reply:

Are there 4 holes in the bed of your 2013 Ford F-250 or 10 (or a different amount)? If there are 4 in a square pattern then that could be the factory underbed prep package. I have included a picture showing what the factory prep package holes (pucks) look like.

If the holes are offset (the rear two holes are closer together than the forward 2 holes) then that indicates that it was likely a PullRite SuperGlide underbed install kit that was used. You can always email me pictures showing the bed and holes and I can determine what it is.

If the previous owner was in fact using above the bed rails and the brackets that are welded to the frame are L-brackets like those used in # RP30035 then you would not need the whole kit, just the rails and hardware. The rails are # RP58058 and the hardware kit is included. The spacing information for the RP30035 kit can be found in the instructions linked below.
