Question:
Ive got a 2002 1500hd Silverado that I need 5th wheel brackets and rails for. I can find them for 1500 and 2500, but I need to make sure that what I get will work for the 1500hd. What product do you recommend? Thank you.

Hey Justin,
We do have those frame rails and brackets for your 2002 Chevy 1500hd. You will want to go with the Demco base rails # DM6071 and the Demco frame brackets # DM8552009 which are specifically for the 1500hd truck. For your vehicle they are more universal so drilling into the frame will be required for install. The rails are industry standard rails so they work with any 5th wheel that uses industry standard rails, which is a high majority of the ones out there.
Do you already have the 5th wheel hitch? What are you looking to tow with this vehicle?

Hey Justin, Did you get a chance to install the Demco base rails and frame brackets on your 1500hd? I’m curious to know how it worked out for your towing needs, as it could help others with similar trucks.
