Question:
Hi, I am looking at upgrading my pinbox to a goosebox or gen-y gooseneck. I have a FABEX 730 pinbox will these work/fit? Thanks,

I do have a few options for you, but there is not a Goose Box or Gen-Y gooseneck pin box that will be an exact replacement for your Fabex 730 pin box.
The first option is using the Gen-Y # GY38FR. You will need to drill a few holes in the brackets to match your trailer, but as long as you don't drill a bunch of extra holes or drill into any existing holes you will not void the warranty of the pin box. This is quite a bit of work so I recommend having a professional do this for you if you choose to go this route. You will also need the 1/4" filler shims # GY76FR.
The option I recommend is the Ranch Hitch Universal 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Coupler Adapter # AM3100 which will bolt on to your king pin and will allow you to connect to a gooseneck hitch. Keep in mind that this option will not work if your pin box is a standard pin box. This will not work with a cushioned or air ride pin box.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
