Question:
what is the measurements of the mounting holes on the reese rp30035 width. im looking to but the curt custom mount #16424 but reuse the rails in my old truck, I want to remove the rails from a 2000 f20 and put them in a 2012 f250. it looks like the rails that were put in are universal but I cant be sure sense an rv shop installed them in to the 2000, any help would be great. thanks

If you already have the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Bracket Kit for Ford part # C16424 on your 2012 Ford F-250 then you will want to use these with the Curt Universal Fifth Wheel Base Rails part # C16104, not the Reese Universal Base Rails part # RP58058 or part # RP30035 because you cannot mix and match base rails with frame brackets from different manufactures. If you have the Reese Universal Base Rails in your only 2000 Ford F-250 then you can use the Reese Quick-Install Custom Bracket Kit part # RP50026 to install them on your new 2012 Ford F-250.
If you don't know what base rails you have in your old truck it would be best to just obtain the Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit part # RP50026-58 or the Curt Custom 5th Wheel Installation Kit part # C16424-204. These will both work with ISR 5th wheel hitches from most brands like Curt, Reese, Husky Etc.
For reference, the Reese rails are 5-3/4" wide and the Curt rails are 5-5/8" wide.
