Question:
I am looking for a fifth wheel rail set for a Reece 16,000 pound fifth wheel for a 2000 Ford F350 cab and chassis with flatbed. Nothing online seems to fit my vehicle. Do you have one that will?

I have a couple options for you as there is not a vehicle specific kit for your 2000 Ford F-350 cab and chassis flat bed. Most would simply use the Base Rail Kit # RP30035 to mount to the flat bed and then connect to the vehicle frame depending on its structure. Personally I prefer using the B&W Flat Bed Gooseneck # BWGNRK1500 as this will allow you to keep a flat bed without the rails sticking up. You could then use the Adapter # 16310 to drop into the Gooseneck receiver and give yourself a set of industry standard rails your Reese 16K 5th wheel hitch can fit into.

Hey, how did things go with the flatbed setup on your F-350? Did the B&W gooseneck and adapter give you the rail fit you needed for your Reese 16K hitch? Your update could make it easier for others working with similar flatbeds.
