Question:
I currently have the BW companion slider that goes into the turn over ball underbed mount. I know have a new GMC with factory mount. Can I just purchase the new base and use the same BW head? Also, what is shipping timeline for this part to CA? Pictures are of current hitch.

The B&W Companion hitch heads are all the same, so if you have have a head already all you'd need is the item # BWRVB3770 which would give you item # BWRVK3770 when installed to the head you currently have.
The B&W Companion weighs over 250 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
