Slider for Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch 30047 and Rail Kit Recommend for 2004 Chevy Silverado

Updated 10/16/2017 | Published 10/15/2017

Question:

I currently have a 2004 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.5 foot bed. I also have a Reese 30047 hitch. I was curious what I would need to convert that unit to a slider and what rail kit I need to custom mount into the truck. The truck has had above the bed rails before so I want to stick with that style.

If you have a Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047 and wanted to convert it to a slider hitch all you need is the slider kit part # RP30048.

For a rail kit confirmed as a fit for your 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500 short bed I'd recommend a custom install kit like the part # RP50064-58 which will minimize drilling and be much easier to install than a universal install kit.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
