Question:
Is there a product that will convert the older style fifth wheel hitch to the new system with the pucks? So I can still use my old hitch in a new truck .

There sure is Adam. We have the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR. This adapter drops down into the pucks on your 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500. It will provide a base that is compatible with 5th wheel hitches that attach to industry standard 5th wheel rails.
Please note that the Curt item # C88KR will not work with the B&W Patriot Slider item # BWRVK3270. It will also add 3-1/2" of height to your 5th wheel hitch.
What 5th wheel hitch do you currently have? If you could give me the make and model I can see if there's a replacement base for it so you don't have to use the item # C88KR. I'll also need to know if it's a slider.
You can add this information and any other questions you have where it says Reply to Jerred H and I'll be happy to answer them.

The hitch I have is the one you said won’t work with that system. Looks like I might have to buy a new one .
