Question:
I have a 2007 Chevrolet 2500HD with the Reese 16K fifth wheel hitch. I purchased the under bed rails that require no drilling. I plan on purchasing a 2013 Chevrolet 2500HD and would like to use the same bed rails, but wondering if the new frame rails for a 2013 will work with the bed rails I already have? Do you have to purchase the extended rails to use with the under bed rails for the new pickup?

Helpful Expert Reply:
There are two different types of above the bed rails now available. To use your existing bed rails on the new truck you would need to use installation brackets # RP50066.
The new longer rails, # RP30153, would require brackets # RP56001.
So basically, you will want to go with bracket kit # RP50066. But you will also need hardware kit # RP58430 because you cannot reuse the old hardware to attach the rails to the new brackets. I have linked some instructions for you.
