Question:
I just received my rail kit Item # DM6014 for fwh-24pa demco hitch and did not realize that it did not come with frame mounts. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6.5 foot bed what frame mounts will work with my truck and that rail kit?

Expert Reply:
The rail kit # DM6014 that you referenced will fit your older Demco 5th wheel hitch if it uses base rails that run side to side. To mount these rails to your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6-1/2' bed you need the Universal Mounting Brackets # DM8552009 which require drilling into the frame or the Custom Mounting Brackets # DM8552012 which install in pre-existing holes in your frame so no drilling is required.
The FWH-24PA part number that you referenced is actually just the part number for the head unit of your 5th wheel hitch. The DM6014 rails are correct if the base unit installs on rails that go side to side but if instead you need rails that run front to back you need the Base Rails # DM6012. For a complete kit with the brackets that fit your GMC Sierra you need part # DM8553004-12.
If you are unsure of what base you have on your Demco Hijacker just send me a few pictures of it and I can help you make sure you get the correct base rails and brackets.
