To install Curt base rails in the bed of your 1988 Ford F-350 you will need the Curt universal fifth-wheel base rails and installation kit, # C16200. This kit includes the above bed rails and hardware and the below bed hardware and brackets for installation on the F-350.

The installation instructions, see link, for Ford F-350 trucks older than 1997, start on page 11, but be sure to read the first 3 pages before starting the installation. Directions will be included with the kit.

Your RBW fifth-wheel hitch will fit in the Curt universal rails, as long as the leg tabs are spaced about 20.5 inches on center apart, see included photo link.
