Hi ! You guys have been great and I have the adapter in the truck ! One thing though and it has nothing to do with you guys is that I sure wonder about 2 ball bearings and nothing else holding this thing down ! I guess the Demco folks have made sure it works ???

I checked the install instructions for the Demco GM 8 ft bed fifth wheel rail adapter part # DM6206 and they show that the larger triangle on the top plate needs to be on the rear side of the truck bed.
For the short bed version of this adapter part # DM6194 the single triangle needs to face rear of truck.
