Question:

I have a 2000 f-250 short bed that I would like to put a fifth wheel hitch in but I have a tool box with a fuel tank under that can I still install the hitch?

From the tailgate of your truck, to the edge of the rail closest to your cab, it will measure 56-3/8 inches. As long as you have that measurement and as long as the king pin rides above the tool box, you should not have any problem.
