I’m trying to find out if this will work on a 2023 F250 with an 8’ bed. The truck does not have OE prep package. Thank you

The Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Ford # C79BR you were looking at are not a fit for your 2023 Ford F-250 with 8' bed and no OEM prep package.

I checked with the manufacturers and was not able to locate a custom 5th wheel installation kit that will work with your 2023 F-250. In order to install 5th wheel rails, you will need to use universal 5th wheel rails.

The universal rails will provide you with the same industry standard mounting points as the custom. The main difference is the installation process. The universal rails are a little more difficult to install, but they will provide the same function.
