For a 2019 Chevy 3500 with factory 5th wheel prep package, the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Chevy/GMC OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 8' Bed - 21K # DM6206 will allow you to use your 26K Husky hitch, but you will be restricted to 21K for towing. To get that higher towing capacity, you can use the Reese M5 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Chevy/GMC Towing Prep Package - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP30895 which is the only hitch rated for that large a capacity.

For a Ford F-350, you can use the Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ford OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # DM6175. Alternatively you can use the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter for Standard 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # RP30156. These adapters will limit you to 25,000 lbs or 20,000 lbs respectively when towing with your 26K Husky hitch. The other option for a higher capacity is upgrading your hitch to the Reese M5 Series 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Single Jaw - 27,000 lbs # RP30922. I've attached videos to further assist.

The benefit to the factory systems is a clean bed when not in use versus having above bed rails to work around.
