Question:
I have a 2001 chevy 2500 hd. The pervious owner had a fifth wheel hitch installed and it still has the rails installed in the bed. Im missing the fifth wheel hitch that goes on the rails. Do you have a replacement hitch?

Expert Reply:
I'm assuming you have above bed rails in your 2001 Silverado 2500. I would go ahead and double check to make sure they are industry standard by matching them to the measurements below. Assuming they are, you can use the B&W Patriot # BWRVK3270 if you have a short bed or the # BWRVK3200 if you have a long bed.
If you have different measurements you will have to figure out what system the rails are from to find a 5th wheel hitch that fits.. They may be from an older discontinued system since this is a 2001 so you could replace the rails with # BWRVK2500 which are industry standard and compatible with most 5th wheel hitches.
